Damien,

Thanks for the URL.  I had a good look at it and tried to install the 
latest PSDK but it didn't include newer compilers.

AFAIK, the PSDK does not come with Visual Studio 8, but rather with an 
older compiler (build 14.00.40310) for AMD64.  I also saw a note in the 
latest PSDK (your URL above) explicitly stating that a compiler was 
required to build applications for AMD64 but this was not included in 
the PSDK.

Checking into MS VS C++ Express, I see only a 32-bit compiler.  I also 
found a note stating that AMD64 is not part of VS Express:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa700921.aspx

So I'm still looking for a way to build IPOPT on my WinXP-x64 machine 
using my Intel compilers.  I may break down and try the STLPort 
suggested earlier.
