64-bit Dwarf Fortress?

As the title suggests, I'm having a bit of trouble finding the right way to install dwarf fortress.  The bin32 version has been abandoned well out of date due to the release of a native version, which is currently usable for i686 at aur/dwarffortress.  On x86_64, however, attempting to install it redirects me to the out of date bin32- package, because that's the only one for 64-bit.

So the current state of dwarf fortress seems to require having a 32-bit chroot for us folks with good processors .  I've written a PKGBUILD that updates bin32-dwarffortress to the latest version, 0.31.06, and it seems to run pretty well.  Does anyone have any objections to my adopting the bin32-dwarffortress package?

Thanks! Actually it looks like it might just be simpler to merge the [x86_64 and i686] PKGBUILDs into one. I'll look into it.

Which will make the bin32 package superfluous. 2 comments later I posted a simple diff for the dwarffortress package which adds x86_64 support.

In other words it's probably best to wait until daenyth updates his package (IMO).

Cool.  I'll wait for Daenyth then.
