[ofw] WDK build environment migration thoughts

[Alex Naslednikov]

Yes, and our solution was dedicated to fix this problem as well.
Currently, it should not work (and I tested it - it indeed doesn't work)
because of __ptr64 problem.
This problem was described in details in my previous e-mails because of
signed pointer extension.

Also, I'd like to point your attention, that these modules will work as
is on homogeneous systems (x86, x64), but not on mixed systems (x86
application on x64 kernel)

Do you know why this does not work?  I would list fixing this as a
requirement before the next release.  (Shouldn't be too hard, I would
guess.)

Also, I'm assuming based on previous discussions that this does break
the ABI.  I never saw any response to my mail that this caused anyone
any heartaches, but we should number the July release 2.0, versus 1.2.
