I understand it may be confusing, but the shorthand way of saying you're using
the mingw-w64/w32 toolchain is mingw64. For example functions that are provided
by the mingw64 vs mingw.org project are shared across bitness, so you need a
bitness-independent way of checking the toolchain/compiler used).
The extra W would imply you are using "mingw-w64", but mingw64 could mean both
*-w64 and *-w32 (IMHO).
I see it like this:
MINGW64 -> mingw-w64/w32
MINGWW64 -> mingw-w64
MINGWW32 -> mingw-w32 (necessary addition, which will forever be confused with
regular MINGW)

I understand their project name isn't the best choice for stuff like this, but
I presume it started as 64-bit only, but they then realized it could be much
more and 32-bit as well.
