The fact that the compiler is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\" and
not in " C:\Program Files\" does indeed support the assumption that this
is a 32-bit compiler and not the 64-bit version.

Note that you don't have to modify the Makefile to select 32-bit compilation;
you can simply set the value on the commandline:

set WIN64=undef
nmake
