Ok. Unless someone pipes up, I'm going to say we go with mingw-w64 and 3a-1
(no bootstrapping on cygwin) until someone shows up to do 3a.

Galina, Takumi, let me know when your builders are OK for this change. No
hurry here, I want to give folks time to request a different path as well,
but I'd rather make the changes only after the builders are good to make
sure there aren't other problems waiting.
