Some more useful links for 64-bit Windows builds...

Some other stuff I've found to be useful for doing 64-bit Windows builds:

GetTimeOfDay clone for Windows

Determine the version of a library file from a VS2008 command prompt:

dumpbin /headers library.lib | findstr machine 

Prebuilt Boost binaries for Windows including x64 binaries

I'll add others as I find them...
