Hi Steve,

this all sounds very reasonable and I'm really happy that we finally
get started with testing:)

One small comment regarding the platform names: I think we should
really call it x86_64 (and I suppose that is what you are speaking
about) to avoid any confusion with Itanium which is commonly
abbreviated as IA64.
