2. People responding with "+N".. Which of the following would you prefer? And give rationale for your preference, and optionally give rationales for not preferring others:

A) Having file names with "32" *and* "64" on them?

I prefer option A. It's consistent, doesn't require separate directories. The architecture is key of the build variant just like the type of CRT used, and whether it is a static or dynamic library, and I don't have any good reasons for why it should be special cased.

I also prefer option A, for the same reasons. Any argument against encoding the architecture into the name also applies to the other things that we already encode.
