The "platform" feature didn't exist in VS 2003 (atleast you couldn't
define new platforms), hence those projects made new configurations.

In the future, I think we should have only Release and Debug
configurations, and x86 and x64 platforms, and these in all four
combinations.

See PC/dllbase_nt.txt. This should be revised to match the current set
of modules, plus it should be updated for AMD64, as some DLLs become
larger on AMD64, so that they need more address space than dllbase_nt
allows for them.
