No, it is not just touch and go like Win32. We've documented the procedure, but it certainly could be improved and streamline. Eric originally set it up, and following the documentation (adding a few clarifications as I went), I was able to set it up. So it is by no means impossible, but you certainly need to understand what you are doing. As it is we did a huge amount of work to get it to the point it is, so we are concentrating on other projects such as the bat Win32 build (probably even more complicated), and we are not planning at this moment to put additional work into the Win64 build. Aside from automating the setup of everything, there is the issue of someone attempting to build the other tools (only a few are built), and to build the Dir and SD as we currently do in Win32. If you are unable to set it up, and you would like the Win64 version built for testing patches, you can send me a patch and I will apply and build it. If you have a patch that you want put in, you can commit it as normal, notify me, and I can build a new version.
