[issue1] amd64 eggs are called x86_64
New submission from Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven
Currently eggs created for amd64 platforms are called x86_64 in the egg filename. AMD renamed x86_64 to amd64 and asked people to follow suit. Also Python uses the amd64 nomenclature: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2006- December/036400.html and http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-May/079056.html
As such, to limit end-user confusion eggs should be named amd64 as well instead of x86_64.
Note that "win-" should probably be in the filename too. eg, the py 2.6 trunk building pywin32 will create a filename 'pywin32-210.9.win-amd64-py2.6.exe' Cheers, Mark
