Bug Description

I would consider this a bug, but you might consider this as a 'wishlist' item.

On the new 0.91pre* versions of Inkscape, you have been releasing both win32 and win64 versions. However, in the 'About Inkscape' window, you don't mention what type it is, just the base build info 'Inkscape 0.91pre3 r13670'.

I would think that before 0.91 gets released, you should add in the build type so that it will help with bug reports for Windows builds so that people can know for sure which build version they are using. That way, when they copy the build info for the bug reports, all the info you need is there, including the windows build they are using.

I would think something like this would work:
Inkscape 0.91pre3 r13670 win64
Inkscape 0.91pre3 r13670 win32
Inkscape 0.91pre3 r13670 x64
Inkscape 0.91pre3 r13670 x86 (aka win32)

Just thought I would mention this since his hasn't been a problem before because you only had the win32 builds.
