Does this build a 32 bit or 64 bit version? I need the 64 bit version built for our application. I tried to follow the directions and build for VS2013 but the Webkit "stuff" just would not build. I usually build and package Qt up for our developers to make installing all of our dependencies as easy as can be but I think for this round I'll just point them to the pre-built VS2013 64 bit packages. (All this of course for Windows). I had no trouble on OS X or Linux (Mint 17).

Thanks
