The _asm code is optional: it is only used to to fast float->int
rounding. If that code is skipped, the potentially slower but standard
code right below that will be used.

Is there a pre-processor way to figure out if the platform is Win64?
Do you know if the assembly code there will work on, say, Win32 on a
64-bit processor? It'd be easy enough to incorporate whatever changes
are necessary to make it work.

Are you in a position where you can afford about 2 hrs computation
time on that machine nightly? If so, perhaps you'd be willing to
contribute to the VXL dashboard, and then we can make sure that Win64
is a supported platform. I realize you only need vnl, but it'd be nice
if everything else worked too.
