Wow, that's a big task.  I hope you will be able to share what you learn 
with Mark.  Many people will be interested in this in the future.

Mark will have to decide whether the 64-bit version will need to be 
called "pywin64"...

In my experience, this usually indicates a mismatch between compiler 
versions, where some of the object or libraries were compiled with a 
different compiler.  Are you using the "amd64" libraries to link this?  
Have you downloaded a platform SDK, or are you using the one that ships 
with VS2005?

Are you compiling ON a Win64 system, or are you cross-compiling?
