Related to the discussion on inclusion of GHC 7.6: GHC 7.6 has a
Windows 64-bit version.  Is Haskell Platform for 64-bit Windows also a
possibility?  I do not have a pressing need for it right now, but
running a 64-bit compiler is at least aesthetically pleasing: I am
running a 64-bit OS, so why not use a 64-bit compiler?  In addition, I
may sometimes want to run a quick-and-dirty one-time program for which
I do not want to spend time to reduce memory requirement, although I
have never tried this approach with Haskell.  So I am curious to see
Haskell Platform for 64-bit Windows if it is realistic.

Best regards,
  Tsuyoshi
