I do both 64 and 32 bit builds except I have separate build trees with
shared source. I do the same for different versions of visual studio.
I mean my development folder looks like this:
CMakeBased
32bit\vc6
\vc.71
\vc.80
\vc.90
64bit\vc.80
The source (in CMakeBased) will appear just once however in some
instances 3 build trees may be using it.
