Perhaps some expert on the python list knows which versions of VS
support 64bit; I do have VS 2005/2008 etc, but I'll probably need to set
up a 64bit machine to see if they will install on a 64bit architecture.
For Python 2.6 and later, use VS 2008. This comes with an AMD64
compiler. You technically don't need a 64-bit Windows, as it supports
cross-compilation (but you would need a 64-bit Windows to test it).
I personally build Python on a 32-bit machine, and move the MSI to a
64-bit machine for testing.
OK I've got the VC2008 64bit tools installed on my 32bit build platform, but I'm
getting build errors because of missing libraries. I assume that's because I
don't have the python amd64 runtime libraries/dlls etc etc since the errors are
looking like this

I assume I can get those from a working Python amd64 install and stuff on one of
the compiler paths somehow.
