Note that Windows now supports "symlinks", which they call "junctions" when 
referring to symlinked directories.

For example, if the 32-bit binaries are in "c:\app32\fp" and the 64-bit 
binaries are in "c:\appl64\fp", you can get rid of the 32-bit "lib" 
directory, and symlink it to the 64-bit one:

     mklink  /j  c:\appl32\fp\lib  c:\appl64\fp\lib

Now, "c:\appl32\fp\lib" is the same directory as "c\appl64\fp\lib".

Ditto for the "menus" directory, should you desire.
