[ofw] [RFC] trunk\etc\makebin argument change - add Arch specific qualifier

Does anyone have heartburn over the addition of a processor architecture qualifier to the makebin.bat cmd line?
'makebin.bat' populates a destination tree with binaries suitable for input to WIX installer (.msi) building scripts.
The purpose for the Architecture arg addition is to allow 'makebin' to populate a tree for a specific OS & Arch combination.  Currently makebin.bat is only OS aware, hence limited to populating all supported architectures for a given Windows OS flavor.
With the addition of an 'arch' qualifier, the door is open for a script which builds a single .msi installer file for a single OS/Arch combination.

Specifically:

old:    makebin src-path dst-path OS-flavor WDK-root co-installer-version

to

New:    makebin src-path dst-path OS-flavor Arch WDK-root co-installer-version
  where:
    src-path == OpenIB src tree (ending at trunk)
    dst-path == Top of the binary install tree (commonly ...\trunk\OFED\WIX\%ARCH%\bin)
    OS-Flavor == win7, wlh, wnet, xp
    Arch == x64, x86, ia64

thanks,

stan.
