very frustrating time VS2012 is the *only* way I have found to get a 64 bit
build using MS tools on Windows 8. Given that, I propose to backport these
changes to 9.2 so we can get some buildfarm coverage of that tool chain
that includes the latest stable release.

As long as it's fairly standalone and doesn't change the actual cost around
(mobile atm so i couldn't look at the actual patch), that seems like the
right idea to me.
