Provider does not work in 64-bit FSI

Only works from 32-bit. In Visual Studio, you might have to set Options->Tools->F# Tools->FSI 64-bit to false.

We need to work out how to fix this...

Do we want to have default or user always has to set it explicitly?

type Python = PythonProvider<"sys, math"> //default to 32 for example

or

type Platform = x86 = 0 | x64 = 1
type Python = PythonProvider<"sys, math", Platform.x86>

What's a good name for this parameter? "Platform" is not too intuitive.

Is this an issue having to do with running in-process with 32-bit visual studio? It seems to me that you would almost always want 64-bit.
