If someone can get the build steps down to a reasonably streamlined
process I can probably test it on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine, and
attempt to build binaries for this platform. I also have access to 32
Bit XP machines and a Vista 64 bit machine.
At the very least I can test binary releases on all of these platforms
if this is of any use.
