[LLVMdev] JIT on Windows x64

I have a patch locally which might unbreak win64 (at least tests
reports so). I hope to commit it soon

No. AFAIR masm has several stupid limitations:
 1. Only very recent versions support SSE2 stuff
 2. You need to emit some magic directive to allow it understand the
instructions properly

I don't see how assembler problems are connected with JIT.
