I tried that in July last year. After some iterations, I got a 64bit
TortoiseSVN.DLL that was linked "as static as possible" to minimize
dependencies on other DLLs.

Alas, it just didn't do the trick. Maybe, the registration has to be
modified somehow or the cross-compiling went wrong (Why the
heck do I need Kernel32.lib in 64 bit apps?!). So far, I had no time
to continue my experiments.

That was may approach: Port the shell extension, only, and leave
the rest as is.

At least that much is left of my efforts: a few lines in TSVN got
patched to comply with 64 bit Windows compiler and API.

Just an idea: try to open a directory in the 32-bit internet explorer.
