Well, i'm not willing to change everything for now, but i was wondering to what extent the lib has been build/tested as a 64 bit binary on a windows machine. FYI, i'm currently trying to cross compile it from a linux box to a windows 64 bit target. I've got a few compilation issue (probably do to a very recent and more strict gcc) and had to find a 64 bit port of pthread, but so far it does look pretty good. I'll be able to tell you later today how things are going.

Current vcproj files are explicitly setting target machime to x86 - just dug up the setting, don't recall when this was set. Presumably this should be reset to something else. Do you suggest that we set the target machine to x64 or leave it unset or something else completely?
