I doubt I'll ever do use 'any' since not all of those architectures are
stable, plus the autobuilders still try to build on architectures that
are not supported and the Not-For-Us lists are a joke.

arm's no use to me right now as nant seg faults inside /usr/bin/mono on
arm, and that's used to build ikvm, nunit and probably others.

Here's a failure from ikvm on arm:

nant -v clean

Although tangentally, the build state of ikvm is so bad, i'm considering
making it i386 and amd64 only.
