[CMake] x64 possible using Cmake2.8.1 for VC2010Express + Windows7.1SDK ??

[Michael Jackson]

The only think I know is that getting Visual Studio Express 2008 to do  
x64 builds involved a whole lot of hacking and such since x64 was not  
officially supported by VCExpress 2008. Has this changed with VC2010  
Express? It would seem that the VC 2010 Express does NOT install the  
64 bit toolset by default. Maybe have a look through this post:
