[Elecraft] Wishlist--K3 utility for Linux amd64

Here is a wishlist item.

Please consider offering the K3 and P3 utilities in the "amd63"
architecture for the users of popular 64 bit Linux distributions.
Despite the nomenclature, "amd64" runs on the common 64 bit processors
manufactured by AMD and Intel.  In fact, I run Debian amd64 on Intel i5
based machines.  In my experience, building for amd64 should be quite
straight forward these days and just a matter of setting the target
architecture correctly.

Yes, I could install the i386 multiarch packages and planned to do so,
but it pulls in many duplicate (i386 and amd64) packages and since I
have a slow Internet link, I'm trying to preserve my bandwidth.

Thank you.

73, Nate
