[Python-Dev] ctypes and win64

[Thomas Heller]

The _ctypes extension module does currently not even build on Win64.

I'm (slowly) working on this (for AMD64, not for itanium), but it may
take a good while before it is stable - It is not even fully implemented
currently.

The win64 msi installer installs the ctypes package anyway, but it cannot be
imported.

I suggest that it should be removed from the 2.5 win64 msi installers, so that
at least, when it is ready, can be installed as separate package.

Thanks,
Thomas
