A 64-bit Pd would not be compatible with any previous version because
all the memory structures would be differently sized, so any externals
built for previous versions would crash. While any patches using
vanilla objects would still work, unless a 64-bit version had some way
of running 32-bit externals in parallel, it would be effectively a
different program, not just a new version.
