yeah, that's the trick with trying to shoehorn dependencies liek this into platform tags.

But even if so do we WANT to now be supporting 4 Windows platforms?

win32
win32_sse2
win64
win64_sse2

and then, what about sse3, etc???
Longer term, more platforms (particularly more platforms that really only differ by some compiler flags) shouldn’t be a very big deal, because my dream for PyPI is that authors upload a source package and PyPI builds all their wheels for them (optionally of course).
