Log Message:
-----------
Updated the build instructions to reflect the current state of things. In
particular, I have added information about building universal binaries on
Mac OS X--mainly so that I don't forget how to do it.

+Mac OS X
+========
+
+On Mac OS X, the build may auto-detect that it can build multiple
+architectures (not necessarily universal binaries), but this case is not
+currently handled well. SCons will complain that there are multiple ways to
+build the same target and exit with an error. To work around this, specify
+the desired architecture explicitly (pass var_arch=ppc, var_arch=ia32, or
+var_arch=ppc64 on the scons command line) or build a universal binary (see
+below).

+   scons darwin_universal=yes var_arch=universal var_type=optimized \

+Windows
+=======
+
+CppDOM can be compiled with Visual C++ 6.0 and newer. However, SCons tries to
+be smart and pick the version of Visual C++ that it thinks you should use
+(always--or almost always--the newest version). To override this, use the
+MSVS_VERSION command line option. For example, to force compilation with
+Visual C++ 7.0 (from Visual Studio .NET 2002), run the following:
+
+   scons MSVS_VERSION=7.0
+
+Let's say we want to use Visual C++ 8.0 (from Visual Studio 8) instead. In
+that case, run the following:
+
+   scons MSVS_VERSION=8.0
+
+If there is only one version of Visual Studio installed, SCons will find it,
+and using the MSVS_VERSION argument is unnecessary.
+
+64-bit Windows
+==============
+
+To build a 64-bit version of CppDOM on Windows, Visual Studio 2005 (also
+known as Visual Studio 8) must be used, and it must be run on a 64-bit
+Windows installation. The trick, however, is that the 32-bit version of
+Python must be used. Otherwise, SCons will not find the Visual Studio
+installation because it looks in the wrong place in the Registry and in
+"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8" instead of in
+"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8".
+
+So, to build both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of CppDOM, run the
+following:
+
+   scons MSVS_VERSION=8.0
+
+To build only the 64-bit version, run the following:
+
+   scons MSVS_VERSION=8.0 var_arch=x64
