A modest enumeration list of Machine Types with better descriptions. This came from my search to be able to determine an application architecture build type of a file. See
//OVERLOADED _AMD64 = 0x8664, means x64 app, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680313(v=vs.85).aspx
OR _EMT64 = 0x8664, named IA-32e (later renamed EM64T,
- then yet again renamed to Intel 64 by Intel to stave of AMD)
// _I386 = 0x14c, means x32 app
