We're currently using qmake and .pro files to create projects for Visual Studio 2008, but the default solution platform is Win32. Every time the projects are rebuilt, I have to manually change the platform to x64 by going into the configuration manager and copying settings from the Win32 solution.
I have not been able to find online/QT forums a way to automatically create a VS2008 solution configured for a x64 build. Do I need to create my own makespec for QT? Do I need to specify x64-specific VS flags? Does anyone have an example they can post which they've successfully used for creating x64-spec projects?

This is a known issue. There are a couple of relevant bugs in the Qt bugtracker: QTBUG-6910 and QTBUG-4046. This second entry also has a link to a patch that you can use if you are building Qt yourself. Vote for those bugs to be fixed to increase the visibility of this issue.
