FYI, the 7.1 SDK is a downloadable SDK, it's not included with any version
of Visual Studio.
7.0 and 7.0A (included with VS2008, 2010) certainly do have 64bit libs.

The x64 compiler was available since VS2005 (I don't remember the lib path).
VS2008 uses the 'Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0', and VS2010 uses 'Microsoft
SDKs/Windows/v7.0A'.
The 7.1 package that you can download if obviously in 'Microsoft
SDKs/Windows/v7.1'.

VS2012 was the first to support Windows 8 and the 'metro' API, and for some
reason they messed around with the traditional lib paths.
The new location is the weird 'Windows Kits\8.0'.

If you can give me the paths to:
