If processorArchitecture="*" works, then that would be the preferred solution,
as it would even work in corner cases like building 32-bit modules on 64-bit
Windows.

libwin32 doesn't exist anymore as a distribution; all modules are
individually packaged on CPAN now. We do have a lib...@pe...
mailing list, and the http://libwin32.googlecode.com repository though.
The Win32API::File and Win32API::Registry modules are maintained
elsewhere though, and Win32::API (which was not part of libwin32 before)
is now included in the libwin32 project.

You are welcome to add your Win32::VisualStyles module to the project
as well; just send me a Google recognized email address (Gmail, Gtalk,
Google docs etc) and I'll add you to the project to give you write
access to the subversion repository.

Cheers,
