First, thanks very much for offering to provide these patches ... I  
think adding windows 64bit support would be great.

The best way to manage patches is to add them to the GNUstep patch  
manager at https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?group=gnustep

Patches should conform to the GNU/GNUstep coding standard (match the  
style of indentation, whitespace usage, brackets positioning, comments  
positioning etc) already used in base.

Patches should be reasonably small/localised, so that applying a patch  
does not break anything and a patch can easily be reviewed.

Unfortunately I don't own a copy of 64bit windows, so I can't test  
windows 64bit changes, but GNUstep-base is 64bit clean generally, so  
changes for 64bit windows should generally be localised to windows  
specific code, and I can test that they don't break the windows 32bit  
code.

You can email the mailing list or email me directly if you have any  
questions.
