Instead we keep two separate directory trees for 32bit and 64bit dependencies, everything from source to lib/dll files.

FYI, separate folders is what, AFAIK, CoApp+NuGet native packages use and what, hopefully, is becoming a de-facto standard on Windows.

Separate folders is what every Windows project I've seen has done for decades. It's also how Visual Studio builds files for multiple platforms by default. I'm fairly certain it's already "standard".

Certainly. should have added, I meant an extended version of that... packaging libraries for Windows with full utilisation of available technologies. Like, SxS and the concept of Pivots developed by CoApp and used by NuGet too for native packages: http://coapp.org/tutorials/building-a-package.html Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
