10.5: List 64-bit enabled GUI applications in 10.5

Note that this only finds GUI 64-bit applications. So, for example, Maple runs a 64-bit process (as confirmed by Activity Monitor), but the GUI program itself is 32-bit, so it doesn't show up in this list. If you want to see if a specific application is 64-bit, check the kind tab in Activity Monitor while the application is running.

Also, if you have installed file with fink, you will need to replace file with /usr/bin/file in that command, as fink's file command does not tell you the architecture.
