Win 7 64 upgade?

[Scarecrow]

Have the Dev team ever mentioned creating a 64bit executable? This would seem to be the easiest first step in making Clod run better. An official statement on this would be reassuring. I've heard mention that an entire program must be developed for 64bit which is a bit worrying as one would expect it would ship with the 64bit exe if that were so but I don't know what the real facts are about this.
