FWIW, I am not seeing any advantage in mentioning MinGW at all at this
stage, just extra maintenance burden. As far as I know, MinGW is a
gcc port that has only a 32b implementation. MinGW-w64 is built on
top of it and it includes *both* 32b and 64b implementations, as you
say, with more WIN32 APIs than the former.
So +1 to simplify a bit that stuff.
