I've been fooling around with vegastrike a bit and thought I'd share the results. Because, why not?
It is a mingw64/gcc4.9 64bit build. I had to patch up py27_modules.7z, add lib-dynload contents (_collections, math etc), to fix the infamous "no rooms" bug. I also had to hack the code a bit to fix some 64bit related bugs, there are quite a few ptr to long (which is 32bit on Windows) casts.
Of course, ymmv, no guarantees, it might eat your cat, etc
