WHY!! :(  Why can't the mingw list help?  Why do we need another 
project to support the 64 bit OS?  This project is not a MinGW 
sanctioned project.  MinGW isn't just for 32bit support and was planned 
to support 64, 128, 256 bit as they developed.

The correct method of support is to supply patches to the runtime and 
winapi that can allow the support.  We've asked the mingw-w64 project 
owner to join us.

PLEASE! Keep mingw support on this list regardless of whether it is 
32bit or 64bit or whatever bit is in the works.
