Why is 64-bit dmd not built as part of the Windows release?

I wouldn't ask that. Every time I need a 64-bit dmd, I open the 
project in src/vcbuild and let Visual Studio and Visual D take 
care of it.

But I agree with the subject entirely. 64-bit DMD is absolutely 
required for my own usage. The Linux platforms have i386/x64 
downloads. OSX is going 64-bit only. Having both packages 
available for Windows would be much appreciated.
