If Yaakov applied the changes necessary to get the 64 bit setup running for a start, would it be possible to let upset create a setup64.ini file for the current cygwin/64bit/release test area? Given the about 10 Billion packages Yaakov uploaded in the last couple of days, it gets pretty tiresome to install the 64 bit packages by hand.
