Itseems that this is a long way from being ready to go.
 

I'm sorry for delaying response.

This patch is needed as a base of the fix for Windows x64 in the future.

There are still a lot of corrections necessary for Win x64.
(typedef Datum, shared buffer, "%lu" messages, headers, build scripts, ...)
We are trying these now, and want to offer the result to the next Commit Fest.

Because we are glad if this pointer patch is confirmed at the early stage,
we submitted patch to this Commit Fest.

Thanks.
