No, you don't need both.
You need the 32-bit version if you want to run Tortoise with 32-bit
applications.
You need the 64-bit version if you want to run Tortoise with 64-bit
applications.
Since I interact with Tortoise exclusively through Windows Explorer
(Am I wildly abnormal here?), I don't need the 32-bit version on my
64-bit machine. And vice-versa; the 64-bit version is not helpful on
32-bit machines.

It seems to me that most of these cases are people installing the
32-bit version on Win64. I don't see how having 32-bit and fat
installers would help this.

Maybe there's some Javascript way to detect 32-bit or 64-bit OS and
present the corresponding version obviously, with an unobtrusive link
to "other versions"?
