That was exactly my motivation to go 64bit as well: when I install - on OS X 10.6 - 3rd party libraries via "MacPorts" (http://www.macports.org/) they get build by default in 64bit. I did not want to play manually with configure and Co., as to force them being build in 32bit, especially since Apple now recommends always building in 64bit.

Fully agree: a quick description on the download page on what's inside would greatly be appreciated!(Even more so the choice between a Carbon vs Cocoa Qt SDK :)
