Cygwin has no problems starting 64-bit programs, that's exactly what our 
cygwin build environment does when building the 64-bit version of our 
stuff (using the MSVC8 compiler)...

The only problem that arises is finding programs that are "hidden" by 
the directory redirection; if the 64-bit program isn't in such a 
directory, everything is fine.
