[Qt-interest] Building Qt for 64bits Windows

No need to fight :-) I'm currently using a 64bits OS (Windows Vista 64),
and successfully build Qt with Visual C++ 2008 from the 64bits
command prompt. I even build QtCreator 1.2 successfully in 64bits. So
compilation using pure command-line works fine (using Makefiles).

Now, what I'm looking about is to create *.vcproj files from *.pro files
using qmake, but with the needed informations for building in 64bits.
So I wouldn't have to "manually" create an "x64" configuration inside
the IDE, which is quite boring. But it seems this is not yet really
supported, so I guess I'll have to rely on some hand-made script that
do the job for me.

As a side note, I also notice no-one seems to have successfully used
MinGW64 with Windows... to bad, I would have loved to be able to use
it as an alternate compiler.

Regards,
