Brute-forced a set of changes which allowed
 make unicode-encapsulate
to work
 1) Patched make-mswin-unicode.pl to match macros with pointer return types;
 2) Updated intl-encap-win32.c to deal with
    a) added functions;
    b) refactoring of w32api include files.

Renamed DEVICE_TYPE to DEVICE_TYPE_X in device-impl.h and everywhere
it is used to avoid collision with DEVICE_TYPE in winioctl.h

Minimal fixes to get to compile wrt int vs. intptr_t in
 event-msw.c

event-msw.c:67:3: error: #error Something is wrong -- you are neither
Windows native (possibly MinGW) nor Cygwin.  # error Something is
wrong -- you are neither Windows native (possibly MinGW) nor Cygwin.

Ah, need a more up-to-date config.{sub,guess}, got one from somewhere
dated timestamp='2013-06-10'

Copy src/s/cygwin32.h to cygwin64.h and src/m/intel386.h to x86_64.h

And a configure.ac which recognises cygwin64
 
Remove cygwin_conv_to_posix_path from lib-src/gnuclient.c

Replace calls to qxeGetWindowLong(... GWL_..) with
qxeGetWindowLongPtr(... GWLP_...) (w. LONG_PTR result if used)
after re-making unicode-encapsulate
And one LONG l = qxeGetWindowLong (hwnd, XWL_FRAMEOBJ) to LONG_PTR l = qxeGetWindowLongPtr (hwnd, XWL_FRAMEOBJ)

Ah, several bugs in new header files in w32api, required some
additions to wfun_re in make-mswin-unicode.pl

That's enough to get event-msw.c to compile, although there are some
size-related warnings.

similar problem in frame-msw.c:
 qxeSetClassLong (FRAME_MSWINDOWS_HANDLE (f), GCL_HICON

and in glyphs-msw.c:
 qxeGetWindowLong
  (FRAME_MSWINDOWS_HANDLE (XFRAME (frame)),
   GWL_HINSTANCE),

and scrollbar-msw.c
also
      (void *) opaque =
	 (void *)qxeGetWindowLong (SCROLLBAR_MSW_HANDLE (sb), GWL_USERDATA);

        LONG_PTR opaque =
	 qxeGetWindowLongPtr (SCROLLBAR_MSW_HANDLE (sb), GWLP_USERDATA);

and dialog-msw.c:197:31: error: ‘DWL_USER’ undeclared (first use in this function)
       qxeSetWindowLong (hwnd, DWL_USER, l_param);

Compiles all the way through, links OK, temacs runs!

the error in event-msw.c inside mswindow_find_frame, inside
intercepted_wnd_proc (a signal handler?),
where we have a
window with no frame saved, appears to happen when the main thread is
in mswindows_init_frame_1 at frame-msw.c:139

After a tiny spark on interest on xemacs-beta, did pull -u, merge and
commit, make distclean, configure '--with-pdump=yes' '--with-modules=no' '--with-mule=yes' '--with-ncurses=yes' '--with-msw=yes' '--without-png' '--without-xpm' '--without-jpeg' '--with-cflags-debugging=-ggdb'

No change -- -nw works, w/o -nw gives the same assertion failed.

Force debug printing on by

Added more printing, removed frame printing, from

OK, did first (.mak) by hand, other was there, in a different place,
already.
Compilation produces _lots_ of warnings about type/size conversions,
slowly figuring out fixes, possible not all correct :-(
Some further forward and back hacking wrt timeval and tv_sec, finally
had to actually edit /c/Program Files (x86)/Windows
Kits/8.1/Include/um/winsock.h to get things moving :-(

Lots of EMACS_INT (long long) == 8-bytes -> int or long == 4-bytes
warnings, whose equivalent (long (8) -> int (4)) are _not_ notified by
Cygwin, are coming up, sort-of overpowering the compiler output, so
fttb I've set ERROR_CHECK_ALL=0 in config.inc, which turned off -TP
(CPP, which I thought was raising the warnings), but still getting many
warnings: down from 567 to 423!
More small fixes, in process-nt.c very speculative, get me to through
compilation to (lots of) linking errors
Clean and rebuild and only Xpm lib linking errors, turn off Xpm and
build completes except for makeinfo (shell script pblm)

Using VS for the winlibs, to set flags etc. use the wrench icon in the
Property Manager window.
Copied all but WIN32 preprocessor flag from the 32-bit VS-built
solution.
Needed to fuss with linker debugging flags and input (module
definition file) to get it all to work for Xpm, but now it does!
Installs under Program Files, but not finding packages despite
load-path being
  ("c:\\C64\\home\\ht\\lib\\emacs\\" "c:/C64/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp" "c:\\Program Files\\XEmacs\\XEmacs-21.5-b34\\lisp\\")

Backed out change to winsock.h, and updated corresponding comments in
systime.h

Now getting 2192 conversion warnings, makes me v. nervous!

But it runs. . .

Using various means to locate and attempt to correct warnings.  Have
now eliminated all pointer truncation warnings.  1254 remain, of which
1246 are conversion from [64 bits] to [32 bits], possible loss of data
