Yes, there's two targets - x86_64-w64-mingw32 (can be multilib) and
i686-w64-mingw32. With the multilib, you have to do a lot of double
builds with "-m32" and it's not always obvious where to install
libraries.

Your point is a good one, focussing on the 32-bit only version first
will cause the least change. I'll see if I can find time this week to
look at it again.
