[pypy-dev] 2GB Limit on Windows

We started a 64 bit windows port once, but it died from lack of 
interest. The port is complicated since on windows 64 bit,/longs/are 
only 32 bit. This is a problem for/PyPy/right now, since it assumes that 
a c/long/can hold a pointer
Can you ship a largeaddressaware exe with your code, or even better 
contribute to the PyPy 64 bit windows port?
