New submission from Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

As I explained in
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2008-April/009398.html eggs
created on either a 32- or 64-bits Windows call the resulting file only a win32 
egg.

For pure Python modules this is not an issue. However, when using speedups or
other code that needs to be natively compiled (C source code for example) you
generate specific binaries for either 32- or 64-bits. We already differentiate
between these versions on Unix and as such we should do the same on Windows.

Something like module-1.0-py2.5-win32-i386.egg or 
module-1.0-py2.5-win32-amd64.egg.
