I have no experience with 64-bit Windows.  If somebody could provide a 
copy of 64-bit XP I'll give it a whirl and see if I can start providing 
binaries.

Unicows would only be applicable to 32-bit anyway, so you can try 
leaving the MSLU settings in the build instructions at zero instead of 
one.  Afterall, you can's run a 64-bit binary on win98!  ;-)
