Overview
This is the first release with x64/x86 support.

Though things started looking a bit better.
Thnks Kasper B. Graversen, who released rather brilliant port of the original hosting solution: https://github.com/kbilsted/NotepadPlusPlusPluginPack.Net.
NppScripts (scripts.npp) is based on his codebase + some defect fixes and minor improvements.
