I don't see how does this end up here ("X86" string is nowhere to be
found in related Bakefile code), I'll need some help with this...

I doubt that, I've been using some very weird paths with no problems.
Anyway, this would be harder to change (see _default_builddir
definition).

Use the pre-defined MSVS_PLATFORM
(http://www.bakefile.org/doc/ch07.html#sec.msvs2005prj.vars) <option> as
you do for any other conditional variables depending on your own
<option>s:

<set var="MYSQL_WIN_DIR">
  <if cond="MSVS_PLATFORM=='win32'">foo</if>
  <if cond="MSVS_PLATFORM=='win64'">bar</if>
</set>

(this only works for msvs200{5,8}prj formats, you have to add checks for
them too).

I don't think so -- it's still not frequently needed (you're the first
one to notice) and it adds extra configurations.
