What is this about

Find the target CPU architecture of Windows binaries (DLLs, EXEs and others).

The module exposes a single function, getTargetArch(path, callback(err,
archName, archCode)) which opens an executable file and determines what CPU
architecture the file was built for, by calling your callback with a name for
the architecture and its code, according to the table on the Windows
documentation,
reproduced here.
