IBM changed the @sys name used for their distribution of AFS for Windows 
to "i386_w2k".  I don't believe that this is a particularly useful 
change since there are not significant differences between the platforms.

I am going to make the following proposal for @sys names for future 
releases of OpenAFS for Windows which will help distinguish the platform 
OpenAFS is running on:

	x86_win32 - for x86 32-bit architectures

	x86_win64 - for x86/amd 64-bit architectures

	itanium_win64 - for itanium 64-bit architectures

Does anyone feel that these are bad choices?  As OpenAFS for Windows 
supports multiple names I am going to set the sysname list to

   	"x86_win32 i386_w2k i386_nt40" on existing 32-bit systems

The new platforms will get the new single name.
