I will be working on a COFF backend after the NASMW one. Then possibly 
direct PE generation.

Thats the plan anyway, if I can get the LLVM C++ frontend built otherwise I 
will have to skip doing that and use the older precompiled binary frontend. 
This is what is delaying me from getting on at the moment.

Testing is going to be the biggy. Doing proper ABI support against MSC's 
calling conventions.
