OK, I have looked at this and it seems perfectly sane. In fact, after a 
very frustrating time VS2012 is the *only* way I have found to get a 64 
bit build using MS tools on Windows 8. Given that, I propose to backport 
these changes to 9.2 so we can get some buildfarm coverage of that tool 
chain that includes the latest stable release.
