Ask VSI and Oracle.

Better yet, wait a year or so for the x86-64 port to have started and 
some discussions around third-party products being ported and some 
preliminary porting materials, and then ask VSI and Oracle about this — 
if there are not published statements posted by then.

VSI is only a month old, hasn't shipped anything yet, and probably 
won't have shipped OpenVMS I64 V8.next until 2015, after all.
