[flext] Flext on 64-bit Windows

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Jamie,
thanks for bringing this up!
I would accept any reasonable pull request dealing with this.
On the other hand, as long as builds are not threaded, which is usually the case, the code doesn't need to depend on atomic operations. This should be separated in case it is not the case right now.
best, Thomas

I’d be willing to have a go at refactoring along these lines if people agree it’s a good option and / or there aren’t existing solutions to the above.
