AMD64 is the correct label. SourceForge has three labels for 64-bit
architectures:
AMD64 IA64 and PPC64

PPC is surely wrong for us. And IA64 is for the Itanium processor.
Yes, Intel now also supports the 32-bit compatible x64 version, but they
licensed that from AMD.

But seriously: if nothing else is bothering you then we did a really
good job.
