Actually, both Corinna and I have 64 bit platforms these days (mine was
donated by an anonymous benefactor. I still can't get over that). We
have a workaround for previous problems in current versions of cygwin
so, AFAIK, Cygwin should work on 64 bit windows:

I'll change the main web page if/when 64 bit windows goes out of beta.
Or is it there already?
