I think this is heading in the wrong direction.  The download page can probably
detect the user's OS and also its "bit-ness" (32 vs. 64), but that is not the
most relevant thing here.

What is relevant is that if a user downloads a 32 bit LO for a 64 bit OS, to
alert them that they need a 32 bit JRE.

(When downloading a 64 bit LO for a 64 bit OS, technically, one could also
alert the user that they need a 64 bit JRE; but they are much more likely
anyway to use a 64 bit JRE on a 64 bit OS than to use a 32 bit JRE on a 64 bit
OS, as required in the case above, so any such alert would probably cause more
confusion than good.  When downloading a 32 bit LO for a 32 bit OS, the user
can only have a 32 bit JRE on that OS anyway.  And downloading a 64 bit LO for
a 32 bit OS is not possible at all.)
