I didn't release any new 1.2.x 64-bit builds under the impression
SVN 1.3 would be released "Real Soon Now"(tm) ;)

Great! Things will be much easier for me then. Could you please
keep me informed as soon as the project files have been converted?

That will depend on whether the SVN projects can be patched automatically.
For the TSVN projects, we just need to check how the additional, unknown
platform (x64) is handled by VC-Express.

Perhaps, we should wait (just as an additional constraint) until we
are sure about the VC2k5 port (i.e. no unforseen obstacles arise) and
have decided about the x64 integration. (Please note, that VC2k5 does
not depend on the x64 issue.)

Since both changes are neither trivial nor "bugfix only", they should
not take place on 1.3.x but on the trunk. If they are ready before 1.3.x
gets branched they will be available in 1.3. Otherwise, they have to
wait for 1.4.
