You know about http://mingw-w64.sf.net/ right? I sure hope so. If
not, please ask me :)
What is your end goal? Porting cygwin to win64 is a huge task, and it
might not be necessary. We can already cross compile from cygwin32 to
native win64 on a win64 system. Is that all you need?
If you really are going to port cygwin, you should start by porting
all the dependencies.
