I've just uploaded today's nightly build 090616.  It installed
correctly on my XP32 an Vista64 machines.  The installer includes the
x64 TortoiseOverlay package so it has everything you need for an x64
machine.

Be aware that tonight's installer has newer version of
TortoiseOverlays.  Since I was adding the x64 version I went ahead and
downloaded the most recent release of both win32 and x64.  The
TortoiseOverlay package does not seem to upgrade itself, so both will
be present on your machine unless/until you uninstall the older
version.

Unfortunately the ThgShell64.dll I brought home does not have
debugging enabled, so I can't debug the x64 file overlay problem.  I
did notice that some files would have overlays briefly but then they
would disappear.  This gives me hope it will be something
straight-forward to fix.
