Resolving Windows 64-bit linker issues

[Darren Grant]

To expand on that (let's see if I can do this without accidentally sending
again, oops!):

Roman, I will get in touch with you on a separate email thread to see if we
can find an optimal way to coordinate, something that satisfies our
schedules and needs. Others please feel free to bug me any time by email (
dedgrant at gmail.com) or on freenode #ghc as dedgrant, PST hours.

In the meantime I'll be auditing some of the related backlogged tickets on
trac. If there's something I can do to help further the goal of a Windows
Task Force page, please let me know.


Pleased to meet everyone!

Cheers,
Darren
