Title: support 64 bit build

Initial cut at 64 bit build support. Add instructions for building boost, and a pointer to pre-built boost libraries.

Several deficiencies at this point, though:
- Hard-coded boost version number (asking around for ideas on this)
- Hard-coded binary locations (going to allow environment variables to override this -- not done yet)

I've done very basic testing this on two machines. In the first case, I built boost on that machine, and in the second, I copied over the pre-built binaries. In both cases, the build succeeded, and the binaries would run to produce a usage message. No further testing was performed.
