I added the non-AMD 64-bit "versions" to the page at

     * AMD64 (AMD 64 bit processors)
     * EM64T (Intel 64-bit extensions)

The new Xeons have this halfway mode that is not Itanium.
And "X86_64" should probably be used here, instead of the
vendor-specific AMD64 version ? (they should be compatible)

For PowerPC®, "PPC" is the 32-bit version and "PPC64" the 64-bit.
In Apple systems, G3 and G4 are 32-bit and the G5 is 64-bit.

I'm not sure what names that the SPARC® family uses, but
I think that "SPARC" is 32-bit and "UltraSPARC" is 64-bit ?


Still think that it could be a good idea to define 32 vs 64
as common versions, like GDC does already. But Walter didn't.

 version (GNU)
 {
     version (GNU_BitsPerPointer32)
     {
         alias uint size_t;
         alias int ptrdiff_t;
     }
     else version (GNU_BitsPerPointer64)
     {
         alias ulong size_t;
         alias long ptrdiff_t;
     }
     else
     {
         static assert(0);
     }
 }
