While this doesn't stop anyone else from doing it, I have just removed
support for 32bit builds from the windows packaging process:

I am still in two minds on this. When I was building Emacs for x86_64
and i686, this prevented me from clean building both architectures at
the same time, so the one build with catch up with the other and then
they would fight.

At the same token, it did mean that I only had to build the elc files
once; so even with forcing me to build one, then the other, it was
probably still quicker.
