Reversed the INF file name check. If the platform is not AMD64
or IA64, we now assume the platform to be IA32 and build the

depending on the product configuration.
Impact:
Buildscript, Management installer, Umbrella installer

compression, while the old 5706 installer uses "one cab per
feature" option.
Impact:
5706 driver installer

change from "one cab per component" to "one cab per feature".
