Dear Nighstrike,

By your response, I see I have made a poor choice of words in a few
instances. I sincerely apologize. It was not truly my intention. Please
let me clarify.

Sorry, I did not meant to claim authorship of Kai's work.

What I meant was:

"For w32api, I used Kai's gendef tool, distributed by us (not the
mingw-w64 gendef, which is more recent), on the Windows 10 kernel32.dll
and msvcrt.dll"

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply the mingw-w64 port was not proper.

Let me rephrase:

"Going forward, we could begin to develop a proper 64-bit port of our
runtime and w32api, as opposed to my quick hack, which is not a proper
port by any means."

Sorry again for any confusion on my part. Thank you for calling
attention to these issues.

Best regards,

Cesar
