Note that the USE_64_BIT_INT build option is not supported with MSVC++ 6.0
Also change the Windows makefiles to disable this option if it is set with this compiler selected. (Use !UNDEF (for nmake) and != (for dmake) to be sure of disabling the option if it is defined on the command-line rather than by editing the makefile.)
