Given the popular demand for an update of the Windows binary of the CWoC altiris iis log analyzer (aila) I made a fresh build which includes bug fixes from earlier this year, some flexibility to handle different IIS logging schema and a better handling of IP Addresses.

I also took the opportunity to create a 64-bit version given some of the internals are using long data type which is making the 32-bit windows executable less efficient (by about 80%).

And here is the standard output from the '--help' execution:
