11 Problem: Win32: UPX does not compress 64 bit binaries.
12 Solution: Mention and add the alternative: mpress. (Dave Bodenstab)
13 Files: src/INSTALLpc.txt, src/Make_ming.mak

24 + As of 2011, UPX still does not support compressing 64-bit EXE's; if you have
25 + built a 64-bit vim then an alternative to UPX is 'MPRESS'. MPRESS can be found

30 ADDITION: NLS support with MinGW
