True, but this problem is kind of self-balancing. Since I have been
taking copious notes on the Wiki, all people would need is access to a
Win64 system and some willingness to follow them. Therefore, anyone that
could run the 64-bit package is also capable of building it. So if I
disappear and someone complains that they need an updated Win64 package,
they will have just volunteered to provide it. :)

I think so.

Are you kidding?! Do you realize that many relatively recent systems
can't run all-native 64-bit code? If they did this, it would cut out a
huge upgrade market, something a for-profit company is unlikely to do. :)

By the same token, it seems like XP x64 is/was kind of a secret.
