I like this direction in general, but:

First a correction, I assume you mean:
{armv7,i686,x86_64}-<vendor>-windows-{ia,mingw,ms}pe

I think these are the wrong ABI names. And if the environments are
uniformly PE, I don't think we should bother with it.

I would suggest:

...-windows-{msvc,gnu,itanium}

MSVC is obvious.
Itanium is obvious.
GNU -> mingw's oddity.

Rationale:
The "Min" isn't relevant to the ABI. The "W" is redundant. The "G" is the
only relevant part, and it stands for GNU.
