Summary: Build our MinGW Runtime with _WIN64

Initial Comment:
The attached patch contains all that is needed to build our runtime files as _WIN64.  Note that these changes allow the build to occur without error but the library itself is still untested.  I will attach separate files for config.guess and config.sub since the changes I made were to the source master for these and then copied those files over what we have already.  Since MSYS current reports uname -m as i686 regardless of 64 bit CPU the triplet I created as a temporary solution is i686-pc-mingw64.  The other project uses x86_64-w64-mingw32 which is really confusing but has an advantage for us since mingw64 isn't currently used.  Once MSYS can report uname -m as x86_64 then the triplet can be x86_64-pc-mingw64 but in either case we can shorten to either mingw32 or mingw64 to achieve our directory structure for libraries and the like.
