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.
