// The COMIMAGE_FLAGS_32BITREQUIRED and COMIMAGE_FLAGS_32BITPREFERRED flags defined below interact as a pair
// in order to get the performance profile we desire for platform neutral assemblies while retaining backwards
// compatibility with pre-4.5 runtimes/OSs, which don't know about COMIMAGE_FLAGS_32BITPREFERRED.
//
// COMIMAGE_FLAGS_32BITREQUIRED originally meant "this assembly is x86-only" (required to distinguish platform
// neutral assemblies which also mark their PE MachineType as IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_I386).
//
// COMIMAGE_FLAGS_32BITPREFERRED has been added so we can create a sub-class of platform neutral assembly that
// prefers to be loaded into 32-bit environment for perf reasons, but is still compatible with 64-bit
// environments.
//
// In order to retain maximum backwards compatibility you cannot simply read or write one of these flags
// however. You must treat them as a pair, a two-bit field with the following meanings:
//
//  32BITREQUIRED  32BITPREFERRED
//        0               0         :   no special meaning, MachineType and ILONLY flag determine image requirements
//        0               1         :   illegal, reserved for future use
//        1               0         :   image is x86-specific
//        1               1         :   image is platform neutral and prefers to be loaded 32-bit when possible

// #ManagedHeader
// 
// A managed code EXE or DLL uses the same basic format that unmanaged executables use call the Portable
// Executable (PE) format. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Executable or
// http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/02/PE/default.aspx for more on this format and RVAs.
// 
// PE files define fixed table of well known entry pointers call Directory entries. Each entry holds the
// relative virtual address (RVA) and length of a blob of data within the PE file. You can see these using
// the command
// 
// link /dump /headers <EXENAME>
//  
//  
// Managed code has defined one of these entries (the 14th see code:IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_COMHEADER) and the RVA points
// that the IMAGE_COR20_HEADER.  This header shows up in the previous dump as the following line
// 
// // Managed code is identified by is following line
// 
//             2008 [      48] RVA [size] of COM Descriptor Directory
//
// The IMAGE_COR20_HEADER is mostly just RVA:Length pairs (pointers) to other interesting data structures. 
// The most important of these is the MetaData tables.   The easiest way of looking at meta-data is using
// the IlDasm.exe tool.   
// 
// MetaData holds most of the information in the IL image.  THe exceptions are resource blobs and the IL
// instructions streams for individual methods.  Intstead the Meta-data for a method holds an RVA to a 
// code:IMAGE_COR_ILMETHOD which holds all the IL stream (and exception handling information).  
// 
// Precompiled (NGEN) images use the same IMAGE_COR20_HEADER but also use the ManagedNativeHeader field to
// point at structures that only exist in precompiled images.
