As I said before, I do not master C/C++ in order to be
up to such a task. I imagine that the source code is quite
large and I do remember from some years ago that compiling
C code is not even close as easy as Delphi code.
But once one has managed to compile it for x86, it should
be fairly easy to do it for x64 as well, with minimum effort.
My mail was actually targeted to those developers which
already did the compiling for x86.
