[Insight-developers] Windows 64 bits & unsigned long

[Luis Ibanez]

Sean,

Excellent idea.
Yes, have an Experimental will this flag on will be useful.
(I'll set up one in thurmite.kitware too, so  we have two
points of reference).

Also, I'll search for an equivalent flag for VS9.


    Thanks,

          Luis
