Steve Dower added the comment: Good call on the batch file. It should be easy enough to make those options case-insensitive, and to support both forms of x86 flag. I'll leave this issue open for that if someone wants to have a go, otherwise I'll get to them at some point. --

conio added the comment: Thank you very much, Steve. I took a look but didn't get to making the patch. I'm happy to see it was just removing the calculation of the PF(ARM) folder. For the second issue, even though I prefer it the way I said (unqualified = native), since (i) the default
