[LLVMdev] Windows Installer

Quoting doesn't seem to make a difference. Strangely, the Win32 toolset 
seems to work. (Where "work" means that clang runs and produces a bunch 
of strange errors ;-)

The only difference I see between the two .props files is that one 
passes "-m86" to the compiler and the other one passes "-m64".

They both reference $(Platform), so I wonder if maybe $(Platform) isn't 
getting set correctly? The platform name in the project is "x64" which 
seems right...

Regards,
Eric
