Did you notice the /proc/registry32 and /proc/registry64 keys in Cygwin
1.7?  Also, did you notice the new regtool options --wow32 and --wow64?
And, did you notice the virtual $SYSTEMROOT\Sysnative folder which
allows to access the 64 bit system32 folder since Windows Vista?

A 64 bit Cygwin would be cool, but we lack time and especially active
community support to get this done.
