Since compiling Vim for Windows doesn't use a configure step, you would have to set the right defines in the Makefile, such as the correct value for SIZEOF_INT (defined in src/auto/config.h for Unix builds), and, if any, the correct command-line options for the C and C++ compilers. (And, of course, you would need a C/C++ compiler able to generate 64-bit object code and a linker able to link it. ;-) ) I think it ought to be possible to set the right settings by appropriately editing the Windows makefiles but I haven't checked the matter thoroughly.
