Are you also thinking of an msys64? Then we have to wait until Cygwin 
has moved to 64 bit, which will be the end of this year I believe.

As far as I understand the mingw-w64 project only delivers the gcc 
toolchain. So there is not much to 'mingw-get' for mingw-w64, until a 
package collection of tools and libraries has been set up.
