Agreed.

Ok, I will not touch this entry.

I did. But I was more thinking about an entry which covers MinGW-w64
and MSYS2, basically the same thing like MinGW and MSYS which is already
there.

MSYS2 distribution offers more than 2.600 ports in their MinGW64 subsystem,
so a sensible list is rather complicated. My suggestion is attached. I
haven't made a ChangeLog entry yet, but in general:
• The file nt/INSTALL.W64 is mentioned
• A ; is added to the examples for .mailcap in order to be in line with
Emacs MIME manual
• UWIN entry is gone
• Entry for MinGW64 and MSYS2 is added.
Any comments welcome.
Best, Arash
