We understand that some people (distro maintainers, mostly) need to be
looking to the future and getting a 64-bit toolchain and release ready.
 These people should feel free to contact the Enigmail team off-list.
Tell us as precisely as possible about your current build environment,
including at the very least:

	* Base Thunderbird version
	* All diffs and patches to the base Tbird
	* Enigmail version being built
	* All diffs and patches to the base Enigmail
	* Toolchain used (autoconf, automake, libtool,
	  GNU Make, gcc, ld, libc, libstdc++)

We will provide as much guidance as we can for how to prepare for
Thunderbird 3.  However, due to the limited amount of time we have, we
can really only help distro maintainers and significant third-party
developers (PortableApps, etc.).

Everyone else should wait for Thunderbird 3 to be officially released.
If you want to try and compile Enigmail for 64-bit betas of Thunderbird
3, well... we wish you a lot of luck.  If it works, great.  If it
doesn't, we hope you're able to fix it.
