I was asking exactly this question a number of times before, but to no 
result.

However I was able to
using gcc : mingw.3.4 : "C:/Mingw/bin/g++.exe" ;

This works, but generates "ugly" names in the bin directory since 
"mingw" appears twice in it.

And btw.,

using gcc : mingw-3.4 : "C:/Mingw/bin/g++.exe" ;

or

using gcc : 3.4-mingw : "C:/Mingw/bin/g++.exe" ;

did both not work.
