I'm not sure it's "useful" to add them. Every distro will have its 
name/variation for the mingw cross compiler (i586/i686/x86_64, 32/64, ...).

If we add these 2 ones, then other people might tell "why not adding 
mine", which we can't do for every distrib.

Ideal solution would be that all distrib use some alias for mingw in 
/etc/alternative or some external config script that could be ran by 
cmake to have Toolchain-mingw32.cmake as distro agnostic as possible.

As I don't think this will happen, I think Toolchain-mingw32.cmake 
should be considered more like a template than like a definitive 
solution for all cases.
If user want to add more toolchain, duplicate Toolchain-mingw32.cmake as 
another filename and add your own values ; it won't be overwritten by 
"hg pull".

For now, as some values must be fixed in Toolchain-mingw32.cmake , it's 
tailored to my distrib ;-)
