Hi,

According to MS's and AMD's recommendations, generic integer *data* types, ie. Integer and Cardinal, should remain 32 bits, leaving 64 bit to explicit 64 bit types.

That's very bad news for libraries that need to compile on various platforms (32 bits and 64 bits), many lines will have to be rewritten :(
