Hi Dante,

Isn't it time to start removing windows 32 support?

I believe that would be premature. There's still a sizeable fraction
of users running Windows 7 [1], which itself likely has a sizeable
fraction of x86 installations - no hard data though [2].

There's also the thing that a number of LibreOffice/OpenOffice
extensions out there use the 32bit c++ UNO bindings, so we would need
to provide a fallback (32bit URE plus a way to run extensions out of
process) to keep them working.
