[GNC] Windows x64 release builds are missing

[Stan Brown (using GC 4.14)]

But, as R Losey pointed out, that would take considerable development
effort. Is there any actual benefit to switching to a 64-bit program,
and is that benefit large enough to justify the development effort, even
if all the needed libraries are available in 64-bit forms.

It seems to me that the original poster's argument in favor is that
32-bit programs have been around for a long time. While that's true, it
doesn't seem to me like any reason to abandon them.

We don't "officially" support operating systems after EOL so I guess at some point after that we can switch to 64-bit builds on Windows.
