mingw.org's MinGW uses DWARF exception handling. Perhaps you are
thinking of MinGW64, which (AFAIK) indeed uses eh by default, but can
be configured to use DWARF.
As for libunwind, are you sure it supports enough platforms to be a
useful alternative? AFAIK, the last official release supports only
IA-64, and even the current development version in git repo basically
supports GNU/Linux and almost nothing else (2 FreeBSD targets and 1 on
HP-UX).
