64 bit ntwdblib.dll

We are currently installing SQL Server 2005 on 32 bit platforms as well as
EM64T platforms. In addition to accessing it via OLE DB and ODBC, we also
still use the API Library which requires ntwdblib.dll. This is not included
with SQL Server 2005 and is identified as one of the deprecated features
that will be dropped completely in a future release. Furthermore, MS goes
to say that you need to copy the ntwdblib.dll from a previous version of SQL
Server to get it to work. This works fine on the 32 bit platforms since we
have SQL Server 2000. However, on the EM64T platform there is no previous
64 bit version since the 64 bit version of SQL Server 2000 was only
supported on the Itanium processor. Is there a way to use SQL Server 2005 in
64 bit mode and access it from the API Library interface?
