Lightning 0.7 For x86_64

I'm a big user of Lightning in Thunderbird, and also of Google Calendar, but for whatever reason no-one feels inclined to provide pre-built binaries for the x86_64 architecture. This is a bit strange, because it's not like 64-bit is new or experimental, but there you go.

Anyway, as no-one else has built it I figured that I would take the plunge. Of more interest to you, no doubt, is that I've made it freely available at http://www.devzero.net/thunderbird/lightning-0.7-x86_64.xpi

I've tested this with Ubuntu Gutsy and it seems to work fine, please comment on your own experiences below.

Update: I've also created a version for Lightning 0.8 with full locales, read about it here.
