[python-win32] Building win32 extensions on 64bit Windows

You will need to use the CVS version of pywin32, and follow the instructions
in the docstring for that file - there are specific instructions relating to
x64 builds.

What headers?  We can't speculate without at least some clues!  Please copy
the exact errors you received.

Nope - they will be fairly soon, but note that no Python x64 binaries are
built with VC2005, and also note that all existing, official Python x64
binary installers have a bug which makes it very difficult for extensions to
install (specifically, the installer writes the Python registry keys to the
Wow64 node, meaning Python itself or extension installers don't see them -
this bug will be fixed for the next official x64 Python release (which still
will not be built with VS2005)

Cheers,
