Well, that question at least seems simple:  The Tcl win/makefile.vc has
lots of comments about turning on 64-bit support, etc.  So presumably
64-bit ActiveTcl uses the stock Tcl build scripts on Windows.

So I guess my fallback option is to use Tcl's makefile.vc as a guide
in setting up a Naviserver Windows build environment from scratch.
But do I actually need to do that?  Maybe Naviserver already has some
better support for Windows command-line builds and I just don't know
how to use it correctly.

If I do need to add something, of course I'm happy to contribute it
back, so how would you folks like to see this stuff work?  In general,
what's the right way to do it?  Is it actually feasible to have one
set of makefiles support both Unix and Windows, or is the existence of
Tcl's makefile.vc a big hint that that doesn't really work?

Btw, the Fossil version history of Tcl's win/makefile.vc is here:
