really catastrophic. Since 64bit is only supported since Windows 2000, I
think that would restrict to  Alpha, since PPC was only supported in NT4
if I am right :) And no mingw outside intel, AFAIK.

Still, not elegant.. I think I just found the spot and addressed it in
my last commit.

I'll write some changelog and open a PR, just in time for the release!
