[xcrysden] Xcrysden on 64bit Windows 8.1

[c00jsh00 at nchc.narl.org.tw]

Dear Dr. Kokalj,

Yes, I have tried to build Xcrysden from the source under 64 bit Cygwin,
but I have not been successful. There are many compatibility problems
in various libraries.  I hope some more capable Xcrysden users can do
this for the community.

I see. Would you be so kind to try to compile and provide a 64-bit
Cygwin version of xcrysden and I will put it on the xcrysden's download
page. (note that I have no computers running Windows, hence also no
Windows-8)
