One thing that is odd not about the FAQ but about our beloved VMMaker
tool is that the "64-bit VM?" check box in VMMaker actually governs
building support for a 64-bit image, to use the FAQ's terms:
"What is a 64-bit image? A 64-bit image is an image in which the
object memory uses a 64-bit word size for object pointers"
"What is a 64-bit VM? A 64-bit VM is one which is compiled with the
LP64 or ILP64 data model"
So IMHO we should change that check box label to something indicating
"64-bit image support" to reduce a major confusion point. Putting a
link to the FAQ (or even a copy of the FAQ) into the tool itself
might be an extra bonus.
