emacs-w64 -- 64-Bit GNU Emacs for MS Windows with optimization

* PURPOSE
For years I have searched the Internet for the 64-Bit GNU Emacs binary distribution for MS-Windows. Indeed there do have 64-Bit Emacs for MS-Windows, but I don't like them. Most of them are modified or outdated. So I try to compile a up-to-date native 64-Bit GNU Emacs from git master. So what you see is my work.

* FEATURE
  + 100% unmodified source code from git master and release version.
  + Native 64-Bit binary for MS-Windows.
  + Compiled with optimization.
  + With JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, SVG, XML2, and GnuTLS support.

* SYSTEM REQUIREMENT
Only 64-Bit MS-Windows are supported.

* DOWNLOAD
+ The development snapshots (most recently) can be found at snapshot.
+ The pretests (prepared for release) can be found at pretest.
+ The release (most stable) can be found at release.

* USAGES
  1. Download the binary package (e.g. emacs-bin-w64-20140402.7z).
  2. Uncompress with 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) or other software you like.
  3. Double-click the runemacs.exe in emacs/bin.

* KNOWN ISSUES
I have to admit that the present work is unperfect. This build is ONLY tested in my Core i7 Laptop running MS Windows 8.

* TECHNICAL DETAILS
If you are interested in compiling Emacs yourself, you can find the workflow in the wiki page.

* ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Thank Angelo Grazios for pointing out the DLL problems.
