Here is one such batch file.
X:\64bit\vc.90\install_la.bat

call Lung\CT_Imaging\Batch\install.bat
call Lung\BZ_Airway\Batch\install.bat
call Lung\SCP_LS\Batch\install.bat
call Lung\JPU_Lobe\Batch\install.bat
call Qt\QtbasicUtils\Batch\install.bat
call Qt\LungAnalysis\Batch\install.bat

This is the same exact file I use for the 32 bit build under vs.80 as
well. Since I used relative paths I just copied the batch file when I
wanted to build 64bit.

Note the build trees have the same structure as the source tree.
