I just looked, and right now the code is returning the particular build 
of ctest being used.  So, on a 64 bit machine with a 32 bit build of 
ctest, it will report 32 bits.  I am thinking this discussion really 
does not belong on the boost-cmake list.   We should most likely take it 
off the list.   Dave, Julien Michael and I should be able to fix this 
and get it working as expected, I will report back to this list when it 
is working.
