[pypy-dev] 2GB Limit on Windows

[matti picus]

I would vote -1 for adding the largeaddressaware
flag to our translation proccess for nightlies. Better to run out of memory
than to use cffi to call some random dll andhave it explode. Those who are
in the know will have a compiler or can down load a free version and DIY.
