I would bother for either 5.4 or 5.5 64bit support for windows. Or
maybe even for 5.5 in general.

We have partial somehow hackish 64bit implementation. It does work for
most cases on systems with 64bit long with a couple of issues. But for
windows, even the 64 bit builds we provide are experimental and by no
mean match the features available on 64bit unices.

php 6 will actually have real 64bit support, hopefully, the int64
branch has all necessary changes and I seriously hope that the RFC
will be accepted.

Cheers,
