That explains why I couldn't push earlier. I'll rebase my other changes on top.

Is there a reason for the lowercase readme.win32 versus its previous
name README.win32?

In terms of which README content is displayed on the Github docs/
page, I think that Github is doing a case-insensitive search in the
docs directory for README files, and the win32 variant searches first.
If it was removed, (I thtink) the win64 README would be displayed by
default. Perhaps the 32-bit info could be added to the README.win64
file to simplify things? Could the README be given a more neutral
Windows extension? README.win?

I think Robert's suggestion of automating 32-bit builds is worth
exploring, if there is a need. It is clearly beneficial for end-users
to provide up-to-date versions on as many platforms as possible. My
only question is whether there are users out there in 2023 still
running 32 bit Windows?
