Unless we find a way to make it work in 64 bits, either we reduce the arch to i386 only -which is something I don't like doing at all-, or we remove it from Lenny. I'm not exactly sure that the code is of a very high quality. It's a pity for pixfrogger, but maybe porting it to python or C++ would be easier than to fix Fenix XD Probably removing it from Lenny unless we find a non-very-difficult way to solve it would be the best.
