This is for fixing link warnings on windows such as the following:
jni.obj : warning LNK4197: export 'JNI_CreateJavaVM' specified multiple
times; using first specification
The warning is reproducible with both VS2010 and VS2013.
It is applicable to 64-bit only probably due to the
__declspec(dllexport) on 32-bit, it exports the function decorated name
with a leading underscore, but not the case on 64-bit as described in:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3572344/a-warning-with-building-64bit-dll
All those functions are declared with JNIEXPORT (#define JNIEXPORT
__declspec(dllexport)) and we're adding the /export:<function name> in
the link command. Therefore, on 64-bit platform, we get the "specified
multiple times" LNK4197 warning.
A fix is to check if the platform is 64-bit, we don't add those /export
option to the link command.

Tests:
(1) build jvm.dll via command line (both 32- and 64-bit)
use configure.sh to setup and then do "make CONF=<config>
hotspot"
(2) generate visual studio project files using ProjectCreator (both
32- and 64-bit)
build jvm.dll via VS2013 (both 32- and 64-bit)
(3) JPRT
