There is *no* W64 support yet for Libgcrypt!

Hi!

Some folks are trying to build Libgcrypt for Windows 64 bit.  Let me
state it clearly:

                        W64 IS NOT YET SUPPORTED

You may run in all kinds of problems, the worst of it being the lack of
a serious entropy gathering module.  The rndw32.c module some may use is
not appropriate for w64!  Annoying CERTs with that is not a good idea,
either.

Simply throwing a compiler on some software on a new platform may result
in a runable binary - but there is no guarantee that it will work as
expected.


Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
