I got autopano-sift working on my Gentoo amd64 machine.  I was not able to get 
autopano-sift to build using the ebuild or manually from the tarball.  But I 
was able to use the *.exe and *.dll files from the tarball's bin/ directory 
by copying these into /usr/local/bin.  Since these are machine independent 
byte code it should not matter what machine compiled them.  In Hugin I had to 
set the Autopano-SIFT command to "mono /usr/local/bin/autopanog.exe" to get 
it to work.  I have run this a couple of times now and it worked both times.  
Not an exhaustive test but it looks good so far. 

For those running a Gentoo amd64 machine you will need to umask mono-1.1.5 and 
libgdiplus-1.1.5 and use keywords "~amd64" for these.  You will also need to 
set keywords to "~x86" for gtk-sharp-1.0.8 and glade-sharp-1.0.8.  I am not 
sure if glade-sharp is needed but the autopano-sift ebuild requires this and 
I had it installed before I figured out that the ebuild would not work on an 
amd64 system.

PTOptimizer is not working from with in Hugin as it always returns zero 
values.  Building libpano12 installed PTOptimizer in /usr/bin.  Being new to 
this I don't know how to test to see where the problem is.  When I run 
PTOptimizer from the command line it says:

Usage: PTOptimizer /path/to/script.txt

Does that mean that PTOptimizer is OK?  How can I test this from the command 
line to make sure it is OK?  If it is OK from the command line what do I need 
to do in Hugin to get it working?
