What is the motivation for copying over the 32-bit header?

Regarding the 64-bit header, I don't see anything in it that will need
to be changed for radix other than making P{G,U,M}D_INDEX_SIZE be
variables rather than constants (and possibly have a lowercase name
instead of uppercase).  What other changes are you expecting to make?
