NPP Shell Extension for WinXP x64

    I have built a x64 version of the shell extension.

    It's available here in a combo binary/source ZIP archive:
    http://saivert.com/files/nppCM_x64.src.zip

    I updated the source files to work with the latest Platform SDK (a couple of typedefs has changed).
    Notably the use of UINT_PTR instead of UINT in one place and removing the FAR marker which has no meaning wahtsoever on x64 systems.

    I advise all developers to stay updated with the latest Platform SDK from Microsoft when you are doing Windows development. I know a lot of people still toy around with some old Platform SDK which works for the most part, but makes porting a tough job. This shell extension is a very small project and it doesn't take a long time to swap in the platform (as in 32/64) independent typedefs.

    Microsoft advised using these _PTR typedefs a long time before they released the x64 edition of Windows XP. Of course they had Windows XP 64-bit (for Intel Itanium), but not many people worked with that which is a server-only system.

    I hope you find my contribution valuable.

      It works like a charm on Windows Vista x64. Thank you very much Nicolai.
