Since I came to the same problem (what is the difference between the
two?), I agree with the reporter (thanks!), i.e. that the difference
should be added to the description.
Also, in my case, with about 15 old programs (ekiga dependencies), only
mingw32 compiled well. After using more recent versions of those
programs (openldap was one of them if I remember correctly), gcc-mingw32
compiled all of them well too.
So I would rather say that, from my point of view, gcc-mingw32 is the
last version of the compiler, while mingw32 is an older version, and as
such can compile old programs (which would compile with 4.2 and not with
4.4).
Maybe it would be better to simply replace mingw32 with gcc-mingw32
(except if someone shows us a recent program which works with the former
and fails with the latter).
