Do/will these releases support 64 bits?  If not, is the problem 
technical or just an issue of manpower?

As soon as any general issues with MinGW are worked out.  I would like 
to begin work with 64 bits.  I specifically chose TDM as a base because 
they have a 64 bit release process already.


 If not, is the problem technical or just an issue of manpower?


For me, it's currently a technical problem.  My Windows installation is 
32 bit.

It has been done before.  I think part of the problem is DMD/Phobos 
doesn't support 64 bit on Windows.

P.S. The files on the download page of TDM-GCC are now updated to
4.5.2, you'll have to download the runtime libraries for 4.5.1 from
this page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/

I'm not sure if the DW2 package is necessary.

	No, you need to take either the DW2 or the SJLJ version. In case of
doubt take the SJLJ.

BTW, will libgphobos have the unittests compiled in? is it possible to 
exclude them (like -release in DMD)? last time I checked it seems they 
were in. Only making the modules bigger, and the resulting executables 
too, I guess (right?).

I think users of a library will just trust that said library has passed 
its tests and won't need them again for building programs.

I'll work on updating to 4.5.2.  In the meantime, anybody can still 
download the installer for 4.5.1 on the TDM website.  That should 
include all dependencies.

I double checked the build logs, unittests are not compiled in.

The problem with that installer is that it checks for updated versions
on the web during install, and then it doesn't let you install 4.5.1,
only the newer 4.5.2 one.

Unchecking "Check for updated files on the TDM-GCC server" will allow 
installing 4.5.1.

I was doing some searching today and came across an old post of mine.

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/D/gnu/1599.html

I imagine the patch is outdated and unnecessary.  However the phobos to 
dll conversion may be of interest to some.  Don't expect it to work 
without some effort though and keep in mind it was done with D1.

Having gphobos as a DLL solves issues with using D DLLs in projects. 
Garbage collection, exceptions and copying across DLL borders(D programs 
only).
