There was a discussion of this very subject here a few months ago, you
should look that up.  It explained a lot of the reasons there isn't
currently a 64bit windows build.  One of the reasons I remember is
that postgresql's "shared memory" design is slow when you allocate
large amounts of it in windows, and that's one of the few reasons for
needing a 64 bit version of pgsql.  I remember a few more reasons
popping up.  I'm guessing it's a subject for the -hackers list though.
