Ha, well i decided to post a partially completed patch for a few reasons:

1) I'm running out of 'summer time' to continue working on it, with
the semester starting next week.
2) I hit a bit of a brick wall with the real-time issues, and need help.
3) It's generally better to communicate with other developers
throughout a process rather than patch-bombing, and this 64-bit stuff
is resulting in somewhat large patches.

But I'm currently a bit confused whether the ChucK devs actually read
and use this list, since there is obviously work being done on ChucK
but I see no information about it, and no one responded to my patch.
If not, I'm just wondering if there's a more appropriate place to
discuss ChucK development or to at least submit patches.
