AnyCPU builds do not run on x64

Description

None of the tests provided in binary form run on my x64 machine. This is a widespread problem; AnyCPU projects using native 32-bit DLLs work fine on x86 machines but fail to run altogether on x64 machines.

Suggestion: since you're using 32-bit native DLLs, change the platform from AnyCPU to x86. This is the new default in VS2010 anyway. More info at http://blogs.msdn.com/rmbyers/archive/2009/06/08/anycpu-exes-are-usually...

The only other way to make the projects runnable on 64-bit versions of Windows is to ship 64-bit native binaries, and somehow pick the right ones depending on the OS (which is tricky and usually not worth the trouble).

On a closer look it appears that Prebuilt doesn't even support any platforms other than AnyCPU...

Yeah, this is fixed in the SVN head. Prebuild is no longer used because of this and other issues, and x86 binaries will be distributed once I get around to making a new release.
