The mingw-w32api package provides the w32api headers and import libraries for the Win32 API, packaged in a manner suitable for use with the i686-pc-mingw32 cross compiler. Note that this package differs from the w32api headers and import libraries used by cygwin itself, as those are now derived from the version developed by mingw64.sourceforge.net. These are based on the version developed by mingw.org. However, as the files provided by this package are installed into the /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root cross-compiler sysroot, there is no conflict with the "native cygwin" w32api.
