      Currently (with jdk 1.6.0_03 b01), -d64 option does not work on windows :

      %MYDRIVE%\jdk\1.6.0_03\promoted\all\b01\binaries\windows-amd64\bin>java -d64 -version
      Unrecognized option: -d64
      Could not create the Java virtual machine.

      If jvm.cfg (under $JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\amd64) is modified as :
      -d64 ALIASED_TO -server

      or

      -d64 IGNORE

      then it works as expected.

      To be consistent with other 64 bit platforms (solaris-sparcv9, solaris-amd64 and linux-amd64), windows-amd64 binaries also should support -d64 option.
