I don't understand the mysteries enough to comment on most of this 
thread, but as an active Swarm user I offer 2¢:

a) If you can get Objective-C Swarm packaged up for yum, etc., that 
would be great, especially for 64-bit. (64-bit Swarm doesn't seem likely 
to ever exist in Windows, and it would be nice to have this option for 
people who want to run models faster but otherwise would not venture 
into Linux.)

b) One issue with recent Linux builds is that they started with Scott 
Christley's source code branch, in which he re-named the class "Zone" to 
"SwarmZone". That has been a mild annoyance to me (going back and forth 
between Windows/MinGW and Linux). Scott- what's the situation on this?

Let us know if we can do anything to help you, Jason.
