It's not only pointers.... in the case of the code that loads the 
class files (if I understand it...) it's assuming all datatypes 
are going to be 32 bits.  To fix the problem, the compiler will 
have to be changed to write architecture-independent datatypes 
(int32_t, etc...) and the interpreter will have to be changed to 
read them.  

I don't think that'll be easy, but I hope we see 
that happen before 2.0.  I know Benoit is thinking about it 
because he already fixed the endian problem.
