That's because the rtree module is not part of 0.13.0.

I wasn't intending for it to be part of 0.13.1.  The original reason for not
including it in 0.13 was that (a) it was pretty much untested and (b) the
implementation was pretty much undocumented.  Since it shouldn't really
affect anything else I guess we can include it in 0.13.1 if nobody
has any objections.  (I have an uncommitted fix for (b)).

We could add it to the extras distribution.

There should be no problem with using Mercury on 64-bit machines - a
fair amount of work was put in prior to the 0.13 release to make sure
that it does work on them.  Actually, one of our primary development
machines is 64-bit (as are the two new ones we're getting).
