I'm with Martin on this one as well I think. If I understand correctly, you're
proposing:
PCbuild - may have contents of x86 or x64 depending
on the build machine's architecture
PCbuild/amd64 - always x64
PCbuild/x86 - always x86
And what we've currently got is:
PCbuild/ - always x86
PCbuild/amd64 - always x64
I think this is fine; we don't really have a notion of compiling for a native
platform, nor is the build machine's architecture factored into the equation.
I believe this is a Good Thing. If you want a 32-bit build, use the 'Win32'
target platform in VS; if you want a 64-bit build, use 'x64'.
Trent.
