VMWare Server is indeed a fine product, which I use extensively.

I am not sure what our Windows support is like for x86_64. Magnus has 
one for MSVC (for which buildfarm support is nearly done, but not 
quite). But I don't see one for MinGW. OTOH, Windows is not free (in 
either sense) and setting up a build environment there is quite a bit 
harder than on Unix platforms.

The other platform I've whined about missing for some time is HP-UX, 
especially on PA-RISC. But that's a whole different story.
