What problem is this supposed to solve ? How frequently do users need both address-models on the same deployment platform (and in the same path) ?

I built executables for distribution on Windows (ie in an installer), where I provided both 32bit and 64bit versions of the program.

CPack can package binaries across different build trees, so it can easily create an installer with both 32/64 bit binaries without both binaries being in the same build. For other packaging tools, its possible as well, just more low-level as you need to manually do the install+package(although still completely automatable).
