This may add even more confusion.

I was planning to upload a rebuild of gcc-2.95.3 with a few bug fixes but more
importantly with the drivers in <prefix>/bin renamed from gcc.exe to gcc-2.exe,
g++.exe -> g++-2.exe, etc.

This would allow overlaying the gcc-2.95 on top of gcc-3.x, so that they could
use the same binutils, mingw-runtime, w32api and PATH variable.  Yes it works
and drivers find correct compiler exes and libs.
