Windows uses the same header files for both Win32 and Win64.
It is Win32 if _WIN32 is defined and Win64 if _WIN64 is defined.

On 64 bit platforms we can never get 100% Win32 source compabillity
because of compiler problems. If fact we can't get 100% Win64 support
either for the same reasons so I guess Wine on 64-bit platforms will
be some kind of pseudo mode.

So we probably should have the same include directory for Win32 and Win64.
As for the name well I think I like "windows" best.

Perhaps.
