The linker on Windows is currently only 32-bit, so the rest of the toolchain 
is 32-bit only. Linux was the first to get 64-bit support, because it was by 
far the easiest (since it uses gcc rather than dmc and optlink). FreeBSD and 
now Mac OS X have it as well. Windows will get it eventually, but it's a lot 
more work, so it could be a while.
