Rob,

The conflict of projects.h with winreg.h (or at least some windows include
files) is well known and is part of the reason that projects.h is not considered
a public include file.  I'm a bit surprised you are running into a problem
with building on win64.  Normally PROJ itself does not include any windows
include files so it should build clean.

I don't think this is a regression for 4.8 so it should be sufficient if you
could file a ticket with details and this can be fixed post 4.8.0.

Best regards,
