thanks

another hard to rationalize compatibility workaround

64 bit applications reside in a directory matching *32*
32 bit applications reside in a directory matching *64*

32 bit visual c is marked by x86
64 bit visual c is marked by x64

we're working on the compiler naming issues
and will get to the system32 vs syswow64 issues next

uwin will attempt to provide a unix hierarchy that makes sense of it all
without the need of a roadmap

most likely through mount points:
        /msdev32
        /msdev64
        /sys32
        /sys64
with generic mount points for defaults:
        /msdev
        /sys
