To me, the question is not about whether to support XP64 or not.
I agree it would be nice to support XP64 as well. It's about who
has the time and energy to drive the discussion to find an accepted
solution. I decided to drop XP64, because it's not in the list of
things I'm interested in while I'm sensing that it's going to take
a bit of effort to reach a consensus. You already made a very nice
contribution in the coff/pe reader, why not send another patch to
further improve host_address_to_string for XP64?

The problem with that routine is that it is designed to print target
addresses, not host addresses.
