Since the feedback was very positive, I have commited this to GIT master
branch, and now we generate daily 64-bit windows binaries.
They are available at
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/windows/snapshots/>
as the files gp64-*.exe.

Configure now automatically patch the source code for mingw64 support when needed.

If all go well, I will backport this to PARI 2.7.4.

Cheers,
Bill.
