No, I am talking about adding the different build options inside 
the visual studio project. When one generates the project, it 
should add the 64bit build options regardless. It is a standard 
with all Visual Studio projects in C++, C#, and VB. It should not 
require a flag to set. It doesn't change the architecture but 
only provides a simple build option.

When I use the flag, I only get 64... I want both!!! I should be 
able to switch seemlessly between 64-bit and 32-bit by using the 
configuration manager/combo box like every other normal project 
in VS has as default.
