Surely if Win32 were 64-bit clean, MS wouldn't have had to ship separate
Win64 headers, which they did, to the general horror of everyone who
expected a 64-bit "long".
Many of us have been working with 64-bit desktop CPU's, OS's, and C
compilers for over a decade now. Yeah, there are decisions to be made.
This was hardly the first time this particular decision was made that way.
