winecfg: Bring back 32-bit Windows versions for 64-bit WINEPREFIXES
Having a 64-bit WINEPREFIX shouldn't exclude you from selecting 32-bit versions of Windows.
Yes, it should. There's no such thing as 64 bit win2k or winme.
And there's no such thing as 32-bit in Windows 2.0. I shouldn't have to create separate WINEPREFIXES just so I can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions for my applications.
Yes, you should. Same way as you have to choose Windows 7 arch you want to install. You have to understand that using 64 bit prefix is not only about filtering Windows version combobox.
How is this going to be handled for ARM?
What's so different about it?
Isn't 400 MB for a single WINEPREFIX enough?
It needs what it needs. If you want to run 1 MB application you could see it as a huge number, if you install any relatively modern game - it's nothing.
Wine already handles 32-/64-bit, there's no need to deny users access to Windows 2000 just because they've installed Wine using the default settings on the 64-bit machines.
There's no such thing as Windows 2000 64 bits, applications should not be forced to run in environment that can't be possibly tested on real Windows.
