[xcrysden] Xcrysden on 64bit Windows 8.1

[c00jsh00 at nchc.narl.org.tw]

Dear Dr. Kokalj,

Recently CYGWIN provides 32-bit and 64-bit versions for installation.

On 64-bit Windows 8.1, one can choose to install either one or both version 
of Cygwin. 

Xcrysden works fine under 32-bit Cygwin/CygwinX, but the program does 
not open the graphic user interface under 64-bit Cygwin/CygwinX.

The benefit of 64-bit Cygwin/CygwinX allows programs to use memory larger 
than 4GB, so it is desirable to have a 64-bit version of Xcrysden. 

Thanks for your help.

What was the problem?
