I know it's a software development kit, but apparently it's got
sufficient muscle to act as the compiler one would need for mex'ing
64bit applications in Matlab.  I am simply responding to the
information from Mathworks support:

http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-36NJ5U.html?solution=3D1-=
36NJ5U

Note that there is also a link on that page addressing the problem I'm
having with mex -setup, but my manual path setting failed and I'm
curious as to why Matlab doesn't recognize my SDK installation by
default.
