- [x] Added a test for detecting the right architecture
- [ ] Running test under Windows 64 bits platform

This PR implements most of the functionality described in #8, except for an option to set the package architecture, which should not be needed.

Still left to do:

- Run tests using Windows python (for example, on 64-bit Windows that has 32-bit Cygwin)

This file looks like a readme, why not name it `README`?
