Hi,
if I want to download prebuilt Qt binaries for the UWP platform then I
can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of both MSVC 2015 and MSVC
2017.
It should be possible to offer the same variety for the Win32 versions,
especially since I think the # of downloads for the Win32 Qt versions
exceed the # of downloads for the UWP platform (for example, UWP
requires Windows 10, but Win32 versions also work on Windows 7 and 8).
