I am halfway a 'How-to-compile-VMTK-on-windows' for the website, but I 
am a bit busy now. Maybe it's an idea that I send it to you, so that you 
can put your experiences in it?

I have not tried to compile VMTK in 64-bit on windows yet, but but the 
error you described are the issues that we had on Linux also in 64-bit. 
Luca can fix it if you notify him. He probably reads it now, so in a few 
days the SVN version will have a bug less. ;-)

In my email program (thunderbird) the thread shows up as a single one 
(except your last email), so I think the 'reply to' button does his 
trick. Strange enough, though, your previous emails don't show up in the 
sourceforge mail achive?

kind regards,
Hugo
