Not that clear. Under Win64, long is still 32bits so quite a bit of work
will required to take advantage of a 64-bit space (starting with surgery
on the memory manager). So we would need
Win64 (not released yet)
mingw64 (not promised, AFAIK)
Suitable hardware
A volunteer with all of the above and
suitable C programming skills.
I was quite serious about `no plans': last time this was raised neither
Duncan Murdoch nor I had any such plans.
