I posted a v2 of the patch set here:
  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/list/?series=397413&state=*

I updated the Win32 references with Win64 in the doc that you pointed at above.

Larger change to update the doc from MinGW to MSYS is a little out of scope
for this patch set and I'm also not entirely sure what the step should be.
So, I didn't touch that.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
