[Ohrrpgce] Warning when running a 32-bit Mac .app

[James Paige]

I see! I guess it is time to switch to 64 bit for mac!

I did some googling for Mac OS version market share, and I think that
versions of Mac OS that can't run 64 bit binaries are something like 0.1 %,
so I think it is fair to say we don't need to keep a 32 bit version around
in parallel.
