Off-topic:
I just re-reviewed this. I'm trying to recall the "doesn't work on
amd64" bits I kept encountering when dealing with either
www/eaccelerator or devel/ZendOptimizer, or maybe something one of those
two depended on. I'm looking at the Makefiles for both ports and
neither seem to indicate this is the case, so I'm at a bit of a loss and
feel ashamed stating something that may not be true. But rest assured
there was, for quite some time, something related to those two which did
not work/build on amd64. (Even file annotations aren't really helping
me track down what I was encountering)
I guess I'll need to re-visit this situation with a test/devel box for
the customer.
