Hi,

yesterday emerge has been extended with mingw x64 support. This mean 
that packages for Windows 64 bit os could be build. x64 binary package 
will have the x64 in the package name e.g  
dbus-x64-mingw-1.3.1-bin.tar.bz2.

To enable x64 build support the following setting in 
<emerge-root>/etc/kde-settings.bat has to be present:

set KDECOMPILER=mingw
set EMERGE_ARCHITECTURE=x64

It is suggested to create a separate emerge root dir for x64 package 
builds.

Thanks to the work from Patrick von Reth some packages (qt without mysql 
support, openssl_beta-src) are already buildable as x64 packages.

BTW: Since version 0.9.6-2 the installer is able to install x64 packages.

Regards
Ralf
