I propose this name convention starting with Firebird 5:

I'd like to suggest you use win32 and win64 instead of x86 and x64. Or, it you want to
keep the "windows" prefix, use window-32 and windows-64.
For me as a Windows user this would be much more logical (the 86 comes from the
80*86 processor, the 64 comes from 64 bits, so it's not consistent from the
beginning).
The proposed naming has the benefit it is consistent across platforms.
That is:
Firebird-<version>-<os-family>-<target-cpu>[-qualifier].
I don't see the need, nor the point to deviate from this for Windows.
