It's been a while since I looked at doing this, but I think *I* would still 
find the patching involved in building a 32-bit Windows perl 
with -Duse64bitint both tedious and difficult ... however, that doesn't mean 
that you and/or kmx would also suffer the same :-)

Chris, your Cygwin perl should be suitable for testing the "32-bit 
with -Duse64bitint" scenario.

kmx, have you already been working on building a 32-bit SP 
with -Duse64bitint ?

It's something I'd like to see .... and something I'd like to be able to 
build from source.
It would also be nice to have -Duselongdouble support (even if just for the 
x64 builds).

If you do have patches that enable any of this, it would be nice (though 
*not* obligatory upon you) if they could be made available for integration 
into the official perl sources.

Cheers,
Rob
