There is one annoying detail that's specific to wheels: because of the way
pip deals with 'fat' binaries on OSX, we need to tell it that our x64-only
wheels are x86+x64 (with the 'intel' tag), otherwise it won't try to
install them even where they do work. So if people with 32-bit-only Python
install it with pip, it will get installed and then fail to load with an
unhelpful error, rather than trying to install from source.
