if that Common.dll file is only valid for 64bit windows builds, perhaps the 
better thing to do is to wrap the $linklib line in a check to see if you are 
building 64bit... if 64bit then loadlib otherwise, noop... seems logical at 
first glance but the question then is if one can determine the bitness of the 
current build in progress...
