From what I read, this simply tells the OS that the application is prepared to deal with a >2GB address range. Not all Windows OSs/platforms support it, but enabling this flag should be a no-op for those.
If someone can verify binaries built with this still work on a 32-bit XP, I'm fine with merging this.

@sipa Did an IBD with bitcoin-qt.exe, tried a wallet encryption and there were no errros, the client started and closed just fine as expected. Btw. it seems @BitcoinPullTester is using an older OpenSSL version then we do with Gitian.
