For the record, I know I saw something somewhere within the last month 
or two about binutils adding support for win64, which is a major part of 
this project. If you aren't the person that made the announcement I am 
thinking of, you might want to be careful about not duplicating work 
that someone else is already doing. (I'd have to think that whoever is 
working on it already would appreciate help, however.)

Personally, I don't think it's off-topic; 64-bit Cygwin (which is 
primarily a matter of adding win64 support to binutils, gcc and gdb, at 
least as far as those being the biggest hurdles) is a topic that's 
bounced around before, and as you say, I think a number of people here 
would be interested in news of the progress of such a project.
