    people sometimes install 32-bit Python on 64-bit Windows.

    We also can't rely on the architecture of the OS itself, since it's
    perfectly normal to compile and run 32-bit applications on Windows as if
    they were native applications. It's a terrible experience to require the
    user to supply a cross-info file to compile 32-bit applications on 64-bit
    Windows. Thankfully, the only way to compile things with Visual Studio on
    Windows is by entering the 'msvc toolchain' environment, which can be
    easily detected.
