Last Friday I pulled in the cmake-git configured for 64 bit Visual
Studio 2010 and generated. Opened the project it generated and built
release. Then I built the package target and installed the package and
I had a 64 bit version of cmake. Although with this said I have yet to
see a reason to need CMake to be 64 bit except for the install
location being Program Files instead of Program Files (x86).
