Allow the Deploy An IIS Website to create 32-bit app pools
The current Deploy An IIS Website step (as of 3.6.0) allows Octopus to create a website and its application pool in one step; however, unlike the separate Create App Pool step, this combined step does not allow the user to specify that the app pool be allowed to run 32-bit applications.
Since most web apps actually run faster in 32-bit mode, due to the lower overhead of the smaller pointers, and also for the benefit of people who have to support third-party libraries which are not available as 64-bit assemblies, please add the ability to set the application pool bit-ness.

Addendum: If you are looking for a script to set the app-pool to 32bit during installation try this:
appcmd set apppool /apppool.name:[name-of-app-pool] /enable32bitapponwin64:true
