*Success!*

I have built bzr for Windows x64.

Thanks to Gary, Martin, John and more for your encouragement and help!

Here's the output of python .\bzr version:

Build platform: Windows 7 x64 with Visual Studio 2008 64-bit compiler only
Python is 2.7 x64 (python-2.7.amd64.msi from python.org)

I did not patch pycrypto, because I could not get John's patch to go in
cleanly.  Probably me, but when in doubt leave alone.

Note that to build C extensions, I had to put

[build_ext]
include-dirs = C:\Users\martitzam\Desktop\sandbox\bzr\trunk\bzrlib

in setup.cfg in "trunk".  I prefer this over distutils.cfg for obvious
reasons.

As you would expect, there are quite a few more warnings emitted by the
64-bit build than by the 32-bit build of the extensions.  Mostly "possible
loss of data" which is almost always mostly harmless unless you're relying
on modulo 2^32 arithmetic.

I just started running the testsuite 1600/25000 so far with only 3
failures.  Will check on it if I get any downtime while I'm on business
travel this week.

I have not packaged the build.  I am vaguely familiar with InnoSetup, but
the instructions in win32_build_setup.txt seem incomplete.  I need to study
that more.

I have not tested the build against the 2GB memory limit yet.  That will
have to wait until I'm back.
