[Building Sakai] Windows 7 64bit and Sakai 2.9.2 WebDav

Sam,

This is failing on our Sakai 2.9.2 production instance with Windows 7 
64bit.  I just reverted the SAK-19592 patch, and now Windows 7 64bit is 
working just fine.  The only issue is that it is slow to upload 
documents, but that seems to be a Windows issue not a webdav issue.

Thanks to everyone with all of your assistance with this issue and 
pointing me in the right direction.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help with this 
issue, like testing, coding, ect.


Mike J
