It's not just that they perform better - we also get a debugger that
actually works well (yes, I know newer gdb's apparently do work on
Mingw; but even a fully functional GDB doesn't come close to VC++), but
more importantly it's looking more and more like it'll be our only way
of producing a 64bit build for Windows.
