As far as I can understand, basically the same problem stands in the way of implementing compliant 
stack frames for x86_64-win64. I was thinking about a having a virtual framepointer register. We'll 
need to:
  - keep a list of all assembler instructions that reference this virtual FP register
  - after final frame size becomes known, fixup these instructions to reference a real FP with 
adjusted offset. Or maybe not keep a separate list of instructions, but instead just iterate the 
entire procedure asmlist (because about every second instruction is subject to fixup).
