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?

	No to all of the above.  My vista machine got a bit hosed
before I could try 1.7 on it.


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

Wish I didn't have severe typing disabilities, among other issues,
but then I'd probably not be on permanent disability and be working and not have the time.
