Correct. There are a few hacky ways to get Express to use the x64 SDK, or so
I read.

I have a Server 2008 R2 x64 box with the full Visual Studio that I could add
to the buildbot fleet. It's a dual core with 4 GB of RAM, plenty of disk
space, and it runs 24/7.

I'll see about getting that setup as a build slave.
