           Summary: use PlatformArchitecture variable in Visual Studio
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Visual Studio has an environment variable named PlatformArchitecture that evaluates to "32" for 32-bit builds and "64" for 64-bit builds.  There are many places in the Windows build where we have written obj32, bin32, or lib32.  Many of these can be replaced by obj$(PlatformArchitecture), obj%PlatformArchitecture%, etc.

I had some trouble with the .sh shell scripts, work-around-vs-dependency-tracking-bugs.py, and copyForwardingHeaders.cmd, so those can be done in a separate patch.  This is a large step towards getting a 64-bit build on Windows.
