Hmm, I hadn't ever uninstalled it.

Regardless, *now* I've just uninstalled and reinstalled the Windows SDK, 
and re-ran vcvarsall.bat. The %WindowsSdkDir% is now set, but I'm still 
getting the same problem.

The %WindowsSdkDir% is set to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft 
SDKs\Windows\v8.0A", but there doesn't appear to be much in there (Just 
a "Bootstrapper\Packages" directory with not much inside it either). I 
don't think it installed correctly. There doesn't appear to be any other 
Windows SDK installation AFAICT either. Stupid f#&*^&# microsoft tools...

In any case, the issue I was hunting down turned out to be Posix-related 
instead of 64-bit-related anyway, so I'm not going to deal with this 
anymore for the time being.
