I think this actually makes sense: if the command line tools were  
32/64 bit universal, scripts would run with the 64 bit version on 64  
bit systems, and wouldn't be able to use any of the libraries that  
are only 32 bit.

The framework, on the other hand, should be 32/64 bit universal so  
that both 32 and 64 bit applications can embed python.
