How about /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/man?
Idealy, that path would need to be added to MANPATH, and if it were
added, doing a 'man 3 basename' may turn up the MinGW implementation.
For that reason, I agree with cgf, in that prefixing 'mingw-' would
identify that these particular implementations are part of the MinGW
runtime.
