Yes, I'm definitely willing to take patches for those features!  I want 
the stand-alone jemalloc to work on all the major platforms so that 
there's only one version of jemalloc to maintain, but I don't use 
Windows myself, so haven't had the time or motive to get it done.

'git format-patch' seems to work pretty well for sending patches via 
email.  Alternatively, I can pull from a git repo that you make public. 
  The latter may work better if you expect there may be non-trivial 
changes necessary after review feedback.

Thanks,
