Now what I'm wondering is what about the CPU architecture? How does it assume the best format for the program?
PE32 has a memory limit of 4GB in a Windows NT process when compiled for a 32-bit machine, which a 64-bit PE32+ image does not have.

I've been wondering about dropping this flag and just providing `pe32plus`, and `pe32`, with `pe` alias to the `pe32` flag by default.

Best,
