What is "the platform" on Win64?

Actually I think it's a combination of problems. "The platform" shouldn't
include the processor speed; it should just be "Windows". But "the
processor" needs to be fixed so it doesn't return "x86" when running in a
64-bit system (which it does now).

So my recommendation would be to add "Windows" as a platform that is the
same as "Win32" and deprecate "Win32", and then fix "the processor" to
return a proper processor value for 64-bit processors.
