Re: Survey: 32 bits version of rdiff-backup for Windows

Hi,

so we've got (at least) two people using Windows 32 bits and not 
planning to migrate near term, so let's keep the 32 bits Windows for now.

As a side note, Windows 11 exists only in 64 bits, and Windows 10 will 
be end of life Oct 14, 2025 [1][2] (server editions have dropped 32 bits 
support since longer [3]), which will as well be the latest end-of-life 
for rdiff-backup 32 bits (assuming we've got toolchain support until 
then, e.g. Python etc, else it'll be dropped sooner).

KR, Eric
