64bit vs. 32bit NPanday

Hello alltogether,

I'm using Windows 7 64bit. By default, NPanday builds NPanday using 
64bit version of the tools. Some of the tests for the project-importer 
only work for 32bit though (those referencing MSBuild web-targets (which 
are 64bit only).

We could

   a) Introduce a 64-bit npanday-version (built with 64-bit tools)
   b) Support explicit x86-builds and build npanday only with x86 tools 
even on a 64bit environment.

I would tend to option b), as even visual studio never builds with the 
x64-Tools.

I added a Spec to the Jira-issue. I don't yet know when I will have time 
to implement this. So if somebody has a brandnew 64bit-Windows, go 
ahead! :-)
