Feature Request: Native Windows 11 ARM64 support (Dokany ARM64 is already available) #216

Hello,

I am writing to request an official ARM64 build for cppcryptfs on Windows 11.

With the rise of Snapdragon X Elite devices and Windows on ARM in general, having a native encryption tool is becoming increasingly important for performance and battery life. Running x64 binaries through emulation works, but for a filesystem-level tool, native execution is much more efficient.

Key Point: Dokany Support I would like to point out that Dokany already provides ARM64 support, which should significantly simplify the process of porting or compiling cppcryptfs for this architecture. Since the underlying driver layer is already compatible, a native ARM64 build of the application itself would be the perfect addition.

Request: Could you please consider adding an ARM64 target to your build process? Even a "beta" or "experimental" binary in the next release would be greatly appreciated by the growing community of Windows ARM users.

I have an ARM64 device and would be more than happy to help with testing any experimental builds or providing logs if needed. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to support this.

Thank you for your hard work on this project!
