[Tinymux] TinyMUX for 64-bit Windows

[Stephen Dennis]

Perhaps more people use TinyMUX on Windows than are willing to admit
it, but at this point, no one should really need TinyMUX compiled
natively for 64-bit edition of Windows.

However, it does work, and it is available (as a TinyMUX 2.6 Alpha).
It doesn't give you anything that you don't already have. All the
built-in limits (described in LIMITS) are the same.

Jake and I spent several days tag-teaming all of the warnings,
behavioral changes, differently-named functions, and seemingly
arbitrary behavior differences.  Did you know that VS 2005's
localtime() doesn't like dates beyond the year 3000 now, and it
helpfully asserts if it sees one.

Anyway. Just to be clear. This is something for 2.6. TinyMUX 2.4 does
not support this. Even if you have VS 2005, you can't compile TinyMUX
2.4 for Win64.

The primary beneficiary of this is probably more precise source code
for AMD64 under Linux or FreeBSD. There is also the possibility that
someone has access to a DEC Tru64 box. At one time, I ported TinyMUX
to Tru64 Unix, and it worked, but there were still a large number of
ignorable warnings.  There shouldn't be any more warnings, now.
