nativefier --help
and API.md, no existing option fits my needs. - [X] I checked CATALOG.md for community suggestions & workarounds.
- [X] I searched existing issues, open & closed. Yes, my feature request is new.

Problem statement
Nativefier 49+ have removed the win32 option because, and I quote, "The ia32 arch (a.k.a. i386 or x86/32bit) is no longer supported". I've just tested compiling using Nativefier 48.0.0.0 and Electron 21.4.3 (lastest available at the time of writing) and it works under a Windows 10 32 bit machine. This is the command I used: nativefier URL -p windows -a ia32 -e "21.4.3"
Motivation & context
I don't know how hard would be to bring back this option but I find it still useful for use in old computers that don't support 64-bit architecture.
