Please don't use '32' and '64' in both KMyMoney win32 and win64 file versions.

In the windows 32 directory: https://download.kde.org/stable/kmymoney/4.8.2/win32/, the setup file is called: kmymoney-i686-w64-mingw32-4.8.2-4.1-setup.exe.

In the windows 64 directory: https://download.kde.org/stable/kmymoney/4.8.2/win64/, the setup file is called: kmymoney-x86_64-w64-mingw32-4.8.2-4.1-setup.exe.

In windows land, 'x86' usually refers to 32bit software, so using it in 64bit software is confusing. i686 may have some meaning in Linux but almost never used in Windows land. i686 is widely used to describe 32-bit P6 processor architecture, but not used for file names.

Since these are Windows downloads, it would be easier for Windows users if 32bit-file names did not include any '64' and if 64-bit file names did not include any '32'.

As a suggestion, you could use x32 or x64 to distinguish them but not both.
