This is one of the issues: you can easily mess up 32-bit and 64-bit,
and not even notice that (AppVeyor had an issue with that lately —
they switched python to 64 but left VC++ as 32).

It’s also slightly easier to find pre-made binaries for 32-bit than
64-bit.  In general, life in 64-bits on Windows is kinda hard, for
everyone involved.
