VMWare Server is indeed a fine product, which I use extensively.
I am not sure what our Windows support is like for x86_64. Magnus has
one for MSVC (for which buildfarm support is nearly done, but not
quite). But I don't see one for MinGW. OTOH, Windows is not free (in
either sense) and setting up a build environment there is quite a bit
harder than on Unix platforms.
The other platform I've whined about missing for some time is HP-UX,
especially on PA-RISC. But that's a whole different story.
cheers
