+=== Only for 64 bit builds: setting up self signing ===
+
+Part 1: creating and installing the test certificate
+ 1. Launch an elevated command line shell (Vista and later).
+ 1. {{{makecert.exe -r -pe -ss my -n "CN=MyTestCertificate" mytestcert.cer}}}
+ 1. {{{certmgr.exe -add mytestcert.cer -s -r localMachine root}}}
+ 1. Start certmgr.exe and check that "!MyTestCertificate" is listed both under "Personal" and "Trusted Root Certification Authorities".
+ 1. Keep the mytestcert.cer file in a safe place.
+
+Part 2: configuring the system to run test signed code (Vista and later)
+ 1. Launch an elevated command line shell (Vista and later).
+ 1. Run {{{Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON}}} on an elevated cmd.exe prompt.
+ 1. {{{certmgr.exe -add mytestcert.cer -s -r localMachine root}}}
+ 1. {{{certmgr.exe -add mytestcert.cer -s -r localMachine trustedpublisher}}}
+ 1. Reboot.
+ 1. Vista: "Test Mode" will appear in all four corners of the desktop and "Microsoft (R) Windows (R) (Build 6000)" will appear on the top. Windows 7: "Test Mode<CR>Windows 7<CR>Build 7600" will appear in the lower right corner.
+
+Part 3: building !VirtualBox with signing enabled
+ 1. If you called the certificate something other than !MyTestCertificate you'll have make the appropriate overrides in {{{LocalConfig.kmk}}}. See the {{{Code Signing}}} section of Config.kmk for what can be overridden.
+ 1. Add {{{VBOX_SIGNING_MODE=test}}} to {{{LocalConfig.kmk}}}.
+ 1. Build (incremental is sufficient).
