Hmm, our installer installs either a 32 bit kernel or a 64 bit one
which does wide PDC calls. So, I guess we will always install a
32 bit kernel on Cxx. Installing a 64 bit kernel with narrow PDC
calls later would be an option (once it works). Do we leave building
that kernel as an exercise for the user, or or do we have one packaged
in the archive?
