(slightly optimistically adding this to the 6.10 milestone).
For Win64 we need:
* A working mingw64 port, which doesn't exist yet. There are
experimental
patches to gcc and binutils, I believe. Alternatively, we could do
the Windows Native port first, and avoid mingw.
* Win64 has a different calling convention, so all the usual stuff needs
to be ported: the native code generator, adjustors, FFI support in
GHCi, etc.
Perhaps libffi would make this easier (see #793).
