[MacTUG] Emerge 64 bit

Wed Apr 17 14:44:16 EDT 2019

Erick Engelke verified that the last time he worked on the core 
shellscript was 2010. He still has the source code if it is needed.

I think the issue is the mac installer script. It was 'compiled' on a 32 
bit macos. If anyone, has a 64 bit utility that creates mac installers, 
then they can fix the issue.

cheers,
Marlon
