Changes to PC\config.[hc] for Win64. MSVC defines _WINxx to differentiate the
various windows platforms. Python's MS_WINxx are keyed off of these. Note
that _WIN32 (and hence MS_WIN32 in Python) are defined on Win32 *and* on
Win64. This is for compatibility reasons. The idea is that the common case is
that code specific to Win32 will also work on Win64 rather than being
specific to Win32 (i.e. there is more the same than different in WIn32 and
Win64).
The following modules are specifically excluded in the Win64 build:
audioop, binascii, imageop, rgbimg. They are advertised as heavily 32-bit
dependent. [They should probably be fixed! --GvR]
The patch to config.h looks big but it really is not. These are the effective
changes:
- MS_WINxx are keyed off _WINxx
- SIZEOF_VOID_P is set to 8 for Win64
- COMPILER string is changed appropriately for Win64

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode. I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
* Base address for all extension modules updated. PC\dllbase_nt.txt
also updated. Erroneous "libpath" directory removed for all
projects.
* winsound module moved from a builtin module to an extension
module. This was done primarily to avoid Python16.dll needing to
pull in winmm.dll. Really dumb test added for winsound - but if
nothing else it ensures the module imports.
light of three different situations: (1) running from build; (2)
running from installed; (3) running without being able to find an
installation (e.g. as a COM object). The system paths in the
repository are only used for (3); the path deduced from the
installation location are used otherwise. PYTHONHOME overrides in all
cases.

running out of the build directory. This means that it will no longer
try to use an older version of the library when an older version has
been installed.
Attached is a context diff to winsound.c that adds a Beep() function
to play a sound through the PC speaker. Seems to make sense to have
this added, so I just went and did it!
The MS compiler doesn't call it 'long long', it uses __int64,
so a new #define, LONG_LONG, has been added and all occurrences
of 'long long' are replaced with it.
- MS_DLL_ID is now set to "1.5" instead of "1.5.x" so Mark Hammond's
extensions won't have to be changed.
- FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION are set to 1,5,2,1.
(The last number could be the build# or the alpha release# or so.)
