Currently the package subsystem defaults to mingw32.  Is this default
controlled by the profile.xml file?  Could mingw-get consider the
default to be mingw64 based on the value of PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE?
Value of AMD64 defaults to mingw64
Value of x86 defaults to mingw32

Note this value will also depend on if mingw-get is a 64bit native
binary versus a 32bit one.  So if someone downloads the 32bit
mingw-get they will default to mingw32 while the 64bit native binary
will default to mingw64.  The value of PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE will
change if executing in SysWOW64 emulation mode to x86 and remain at
AMD64 if running in native mode.
