 Changes in the current code since fc-host-tools-r9a:
 
+* For those who need to run our tools on a 64-bit host system (or more
+  precisely, any system on which pointers are longer than the basic int type),
+  the present release includes fixes for null pointer passing constructs

+  systems on which ints and pointers are equivalent for K&R C function argument
+  passing purposes.

   AT-over-RVTMUX mechanism supported by newer firmwares - see the updates in
