I know that, I was just commenting on your statement that "it might talk
to a 32-bit version of MySQL...". Indeed it should, and I know for a
fact that it also works in the opposite direction, too.

I am installing into a new system that I intend to use for many years
and I'd like to take a step forward (newer version of VC++ compilation
and perhaps x64). I could use the Php 5.4 x32 VC9 as I have it now. Php
5.4 is fine for a production server (my shared host is at 5.3, and that
is only if I opt to upgrade from the default 5.2).
I would prefer, though, to start using the latest Php builds (5.5) in my
local development environment. I'd also like to start using the versions
compiled with VC11 (Visual Studio 2012) and, if it works, x64. I want to
bump Apache up because Apache2.2 is now a legacy version.
