I understand, but the naming indeed is unfortunate
It should be renamed. Maybe "winapi"?
win32-64?
By analogy with GTK, Qt etc.: if the API is substantially the same for
the x86 and x86-64 targets, I think "polluting" the widget set with the
CPU type would be undesirable.
I've got an SGI Itanium (IA-64) system here, it can generally run x86
binaries using some form of OS-level emulation, and /if/ I built a
program for it using Lazarus I'd expect to be able to use the existing
Windows widgetset rather than having to find an hypothetical one called
something like win32-Itanic.
