The default branch from back then (4.3.0+) is the stable branch now (4.4.0).
So these options (--enable-64 and --enable-fortran-int64) now apply both to
default and to stable Octave.
It should now be possible to combine --enable-64 with
--disable-fortran-int64. At least this combination works for me with the
default branch since quite a few months. And it should also work for the
current stable branch (4.4.0).

Right. They probably know best why the official installer for Windows ships
an Octave configured with --disable-64.
