I couldn't download this file, I always got the following response:

"The bandwidth or page view limit for this site has been exceeded and
the page cannot be viewed at this time. Once the site is below the
limit, it will once again begin serving as normal."

I'm afraid I couldn't express my priorities properly. I would support
option 2 much better than option 1. I'm saying this because compiling
some parts of the gdal is much painful, some of those (like SDE)
cannot be compiled at all. You also have to compile such way the
dependent libraries as well, and I guess some of those have no WIN64
support either.
However I'll be trying to put together a GDAL WIN64 wiki for reference.
