Let's try that. But I wouldn't think the chances are better than 50:50.
As promised, I will continue releasing 64 bit builds for 1.3.x (1.2.5 and
1.2.6 seemed to have a number of issues - so I left them aside).

I got some ideas of how to fix the project file generation part. However,
there will be some patches to the APR* (and SVN) libs to enable the
Windows specifics in Win64, too (basically, replace most "WIN32"
with "_WIN32").

My problem here is that my Xmas (i.e. off-line time) will start Thu morning
and end on the 27th.

THAT'S cool ;) Let's see what I can get done until Wed night.
