That is unfortunate.  At the moment I do not envision having the time to  
build Windows binaries until after February 11th.  There are mainly two  
things that stop me.  First is the complete lack of the Windows operating  
system license and installation media.  The second is a computer/cpu with  
virtualization support so I can run 64bit Windows in a virtual machine.

And neither can I.  I have heard of incompatible libraries such as Python  
2.7 components that refused to work together.  As I understood the story  
that had nothing to do with 32 vs. 64 bits and had to do with incompatible  
compilers or compilation settings.

In an ideal world that would be I.  And I have no idea who to talk to at  
Enterprise DB about this.
