[vtkusers] Windows 64 bits compilation with Visual Studio .net 2003

[Laurent Peters]

When I try to generate the nmake build, CMake (2.6) reports the following
error:

LINK : warning LNK4012: invalid value 'x64', must be 'AM33, AMD64, ARM,
CEE, EBC, IA64, M32R, MIPS, MIPS16, IPSFPU, MIPSFPU16, MIPSR41XX, SH4,  SH5,
THUMB, or X86'; option ignored


Here is the complete log:

  It fails with the following output:
