Just grep Cygwin's winnt.h for 'IMAGE.*64', and most of the hits will give you an idea; as I see one of the odd things is that they have quite a number of the structure changes, but they're lacking the change to the NT header (IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER64) and the new 'magic' value to indicate its use. PE32+ isn't really a different format except for some slightly changed sub-structures to accomodate 64-bit values where needed (which I guess is why they don't call it PE64).
