Done in https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/1399.
In case you are going to test it, until this PR is merged, you need the Geany 
build from this PR and the G-P build from the above mentioned PR (and ignore 
the Geany build included in the G-P build).

Alright, I just added it. But as you know, I can't test it :).

I don't think so.
Your workload is already big enough I guess.

I think I will finally look for a new Windows maintainer. And until one is 
found or even if not, the quality of the Windows releases might decrease. IMO 
this is OK as there are probably more users on the other platforms and 
maintaining the Windows build isn't that easy due to the nature of this system.

Ha, noticed the same two hours ago :).
The 64bit variant should not yet be used and even if, it doesn't provide the 
32bit compatibility layer and so our 32bit installer can't be used.
At least, the installer works fine on the 32bit variant of ReactOS.

On a side note, in theory we could generate the installer as a 64bit 
exectuable. Though I didn't find yet a way to also make the included 
uninstaller 64bit.
