Win: Visual Studio 2015 sets PLATFORM=x64 in 64bit intel mode so use that to detect the build mode, if possible. Older versions will default to 32bit mode, so set TARGET_CPU=x64 if neccessary. More updates to the readme.

17 Building for MacOS 10.14 or later may prevent apps from running on

21 dark mode I suggest building 2 versions, one for 64 bit intel
22 only for 10.14 and later. Then a fat binary for prior to 10.14.
