Do know when DragonFly would support 64-bit? Can DF easily be ported

rewrite of DF for 64bit?
I believe that work on making the code support 64-bit has been done and
more is under way, however all parts are not done yet.


We have been supporting 64bit since always because FreeBSD-4 had an 
alpha port.  I think it boils down to have the MD pieces for amd64. 
That's no walk in the park though.
Uhm, not really.  There are quite a few parts, like the BUF code, drivers, 
etc which need to be cleaned up so that they work without issues on 64 bit 
systems.
