we dont build "everything else" with isaexec.

there is no 64bit "grep" for example.

there is a difference between "enabled[/available]", and "default to using it".

hopefully, we havent bothered making 64bit executables for cups. but
we need 64bit versions of the libraries AVAILABLE, so that some
applications that want cups support, can be compiled in 64bit mode, if
beneficial.
obvious candidate:  GIMP.
