As discussed recently on distutils-sig (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2007-July/007877.html), it is desirable for get_platform() to return different values for different Windows architectures, to easily differentiate the files and directories created.  This patch arranges for either 'win-x86_64' or 'win-ia64' to be returned for the 2 64bit Windows platforms; all other platforms, including 32bit windows, are unchanged.

Patch also includes a change to bdist_msi so get_platform() is used instead of 'win32' to create the final .msi.  Note that get_platform() *is* already used for the name of the  'build' directories, so this hard-coding of win32 doesn't appear intentional.  No similar patch exists for bdist_wininst, as there is no intention to support x64 with bdist_wininst.
