I dual-boot my laptop (actually triple-boot if you include 7.x) and
have all 3 filesystem trees visible.  I have my 6.x/amd64 paths setup
to see the 6.x/i386 executables.  Mostly it works OK but I have run
into a couple of problems when building a 6.x/amd64 port and the port
build process had found a 6.x/i386 version of a dependency - which
causes the port build to fail at some later point.

Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement
an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
