I would rename the `win32' to
`windows', and update the `index.html'
file in `vc2010' subdirectory with the proper information.

Hmm. In the `INSTALL' file, there is a section called
4. With an IDE Project File (e.g., for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior)
that should you direct to the right directory. Have you missed this
file?

I have to trade the additional maintainance burden against the user
benefit. In my opinion, a single `windows' directory is better.

Thanks!
