As part of the Chicken 5 effort, we should consider switching not only
to mingw-w64, but also to MSYS2.  We should also look at Cygwin-64,
as there are probably still parts of the code base that assume that
Cygwin is inherently 32-bit.  (I'm not using Cygwin-64 yet myself,
so there is no hurry on this.)
