The standard load address for 64-bit PE executables is the same as for
32-bit, 0x400000. This is also the standard load address for 64-bit ELF
executables. If the Wine loader is not relocated, it won't be able to load
the majority of PE executables. Ofcourse, there's no problem with 64-bit
Winelib executables.
As to the more appropriate address, I'm not sure. I just wanted to get it
out of the way. I suppose it could be moved to somewhere around or above
0x7bf0000000000000.
