Building with VS for x86-64 used to work, and *should* work. If it
doesn't, please create a bug report describing the problem.

If those problems are not on the bug database, please report them.

I'm successfully using the JIT on Windows (32 bits) since a long time
ago. So the level of completeness of LLVM on Windows depends on your
needs.

Looking forward to your contributions. But please keep in mind that a
good report is a valuable contribution too.
