Comment:

 OK recent win64 fixes by Ian did this, specifically:
 216150a6dc2c59a5ade398cad849a0c093572d12

 He truncates an Long (64bit) to an Int (32bit) and stores it back in a
 Long. As this is in Cmm which plugs directly into the backends you can't
 have automatic type conversion like this with LLVM (NCG doesn't care).
 I've changed the storage type to be an Int as well, see commit:
