I just managed to compile and link the first 64 bit version with
Visual Studio 2010 - that does not mean it is already working but it
is definitely a good start. :)

One thing that is left to be fixed is the DLL (gthread)
initialization. It shouldn't be too hard.

The other thing is that there might be issues with non-MSVC targets
since currently I tested with MSVC only.

I will try to take care of some of the issues during the next week and
I will try to get the test up and running. The library installation is
also not yet configured.

Once again, here is the branch I am working in:
