So, you're saying that

 msvc.configure 8.0 : "<command>c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\BIN\\amd64\\cl" 
        "<setup>C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\vcvarsall.bat" ; 

got msvc to produce 64 bit binaries for you?	

As for x86_ia64	vs. x86_ipf -- did you notice #1042 claims "ipf" does not work in practice?
Did you try with that ia64 compiler, whatever that might be?
