'This is getting needlessly messianic'.

Sure, it's excellent having first a GPL compiler before supporting 64bit
windows but it's now 2009 and still it's only possible to compile it 32bit.

The free-to-use compiler is the one from Windows SDK latest.

* get latest SDK
* make a project on Visual C++ (already done)
* compile it with msbuild/vcbuild on command line
* fix the errors
* profit
