I wonder whether getting ming64 to work on 64 bit Wine is too hard to get working before the release? I often can't get 32-bit Wine working, and we've apparently got problems with mingw64 on native windows. As a short term fix, how about an Amazon image with the Windows 64 bit compilers on it? Or can Christophe Gohlke help us out here? It seems a shame not to provide these builds.
