[Nexus] Mac OSX 64 Bit NeXus Libraries

Hello,
I realized that a new OSX Package is ready to download.
Apart from the fact that the version String was not updated in the
text file, shown by the installer I have a second issue.
Apple stopped to publish Java Virtual Machines for 32 bit in the end
of 2008.
So all operating systems that are shipped with new hardware have a
preinstalled Java 6 VM with 64 bit only.
While Sun publishes the VM for all other operating systems with 32 and
64 bit support, they are not responsible for the VM on OSX.
My problem is now, that a 64 bit Java VM is definitely not able to
load 32 bit libraries. I was able to test this on Windows, Linux and
Mac OS
and have response by the Java Community.
The latest Nexus package seems to be shipped with 32 bit binaries and
so, they are not usable with 64 bit systems.
So my appeal, could you please ship your NeXus Library additionally
with 64 Bit libraries to make them usable on all my 64 bit systems?
Regards,
Stefan Flemming
