Sure, but until my patch to winapi_test and the regeneration
of the tests we weren't testing 8 byte alignments. Now we can,
so anyone who has a recent MSVC is invited to build and run the
generated tests ;-).

I see that Alexandre has put in a much better patch than mine 
that makes alignment default to 8 when it comes to 64 bit types,
which is what MSVC does.
