bug#9960: Compiling Emacs trunk with MSVC

[Fabrice Popineau]

Just to let you know that emacs win64 compiles, dumps and loads.

There are still a couple of glitches. It does not yet bootstrap itself.

Main problems are :

- switch "long" to something that is 64 bits long when compiling for 64 bits architecture
- some functions are implicitly assumed to return an int because they are not declared before being used

(one malloc() use in w32.c, sbrk() in gmalloc.c), hence they might generate a sign extension, which is not good.

I will keep on polishing things up to the point it will bootstrap itself.

Greetings,

Fabrice

Yes.
