Is there anywhere a description of the files in a mingw-w64 distribution, with perhaps an explanation of whether any given file is used at compile, link, run-time, and/or for some other purpose ?
What exactly are you trying to determine? If a file is used at runtime it will be in {usr,mingw32,mingw64}/bin directory. If a file is required for the build process you will find it in {usr,mingw32,mingw64}/lib and perhaps under {usr,mingw32,mingw64}/{i686,x86_64}-{pc,w64}-{msys,mingw32}/* directories.
You can use `pacman -Qo FILE` to determine which package a file is related to. You can then use `pacman -Qi PACKAGE` to get a description of the package. If a program is executable, usually add --help or sometimes -h or perhaps -? will give a description of the executable purpose and options.
