Seriously though, this would be a great thing to have...Squeak might even be able to say that it's the first Smalltalk VM. (and probably the first open source OO VM) that is 64 bit. If you do it, make sure that an image saved from a 64 bit VM can be loaded into a 32 bit VM (providing it fits within 32 bits of address space) and vice versa.
What about variuos Smalltalks (VAST, VW, GemStone/S) for IBM AIX POWER machines? I suppose they could be running in some mix of what someone could call 32- and 64-bit... For that matter, what about Solaris and IRIX, both of which have some smalltalk or another...
