Has anybody built 2.3.4 on Win64, and if so, is there a preferred way? We built it by exporting the makefiles and twiddling with the linker options and pointer size in pyconfig.h, but that seems a bit kludgy.

I did (assuming you mean Itanium). I first tried it with that approach, then I talked Peter Tröger into developing vsextcomp, which is now used in the CVS. So unless you have a specific reason to use 2.3.4, I recommend to use 2.4.

If I had to do it again, I would use a vsextcomp procedure now: Import the VC6 project files into VC7, then, using vsextcomp, generate Itanium targets for them.
