The simulator runs at 32bits, but the pkcs11 library that talks to the simulator has builds for win 32/64 linux 32/64 and Solaris.

This OpenJDK7 changeset might help in the future on Windows x86_64:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/rev/1ff7163fc5f7

It would be nice if it did help someone.  It doesn't help us with IcedTea.

Interesting Windows on x86_64 seems to be one of the builds that's
always tested, whereas GNU/Linux on x86_64 isn't -- strange given the
latter is older and far more widespread.
