Another thing I'm interested in, is an official build of a 64-bit
zlib1.dll, to be included in Tcl 8.6 (which is not that far away
any more). I already made a test-build for that, assuming
the specification is identical to a 32-bit build, only use the
64-bit compiler in stead
    <http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/info/17f050e907>
but (intentionally) without assembler support and mingw-w64-only.
Generating a proper 64-bit zdll.lib (the current one is simply a
renamed zlib1.dll.a) would make that work with MS as well.

Anyone else interested/able to help?
