I've done this for x86 but not x86_64.  I'll do x86_64 as soon as I can
find a machine to build on but I really wanted to get x86 fixed for M11.
I'll get an x86_64 machine sorted out soon but probably not in time for
M11 but we haven't been releasing x86_64 windows builds anyway so that
shouldn't be a problem.

I've done this too.

Actually, Tim pointed out that this broke the build (or pick up old 
dependencies) so I've reverted this but willfix it properly shortly.
