Hi,

Today I installed cygwin64 and had no problems. I only noticed that 
after I installed gcc-g++ 4.8.0 there was no 'cc' command available.

I saw that dos2unix has already been ported to 64 bit. So I assume I 
don't need to take any action. I built them myself too to see if 
everything went fine. I saw no problems.

I will build libunistring for 64 bit soon.

regards,
