NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS. This
version adds support for using a separate file for storing the
install data, therefore allowing installer sizes up to a theoretical
max size of 8EB. Single files are still limited to 2GB.

The compiler (makensis) is designed to run on 64 bit machines as
this is the feature needed to make installers bigger than 2GB.

The command to use an external file is: SetExOutFile false | true.
The only down side is that solid compression is not supported, due
to its design it just isn't feasible to add support.

An undocumented 'Target' command also exists that allows the target
architecture to be selected. It is: Target cpu-charset. Valid values
are: x86-ansi, x86-unicode, amd64-unicode.

Built on 04/01/2016 on Windows 10, using Visual Studio 2008 with the Windows 7 SDK.
This version creates native 64 bit installers as the default, this will be
changed back to 32 bit installers as the default in the future.
