On Windows automatically load the correct native ODE library depending on whether the process is 32-bit or 64-bit

In theory, this means that a 64-bit Windows OS user can now run OpenSim.exe with ODE and use more than 2 (or 3) GB of memory.
However, this is completely untested since I don't currently own a 64-bit Windows box.  Feedback appreciated.
Using OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe should continue to work.  Other platforms are unaffected.
This will currently not work with sqlite - I will add that too if this works.
