Sorry, what's the difference between WIN32 and MINGW? And why do you want
WIN32 instead of WINDOWS?

The name WIN32 instead of WINDOWS is historical, just like _WIN32 is defined by MS compilers even on 64-bit windows. I've made a note to add WINDOWS.

When building with a MinGW compiler the name MINGW is true as well as WIN32. If you look back through this list's archives you may find some big discussions about whether MinGW is different from Windows. If you don't want your project to treat them differently then just don't ever test for MINGW.
