[Gmsh] Using the Python API under Win 10 + Msys2

[Santiago Serebrinsky]

(This means to fix a mess-up with a couple of emails and their subject)

I was suggested by Christophe to check if I was using the right dll version
(32 or 64 bit) here http://onelab.info/pipermail/gmsh/2018/012508.html

Given that I am using Win 10, and 64-bit versions for all my apps
(including Gmsh 4), I guessed I had to use the 64-bit version of the Gmsh
API dll as well.

So I checked that, and I had the 64-bit version (hinted at here
http://onelab.info/pipermail/gmsh/2018/012515.html and later confirmed).

But then I simply tried using the 32-bit version, and it worked!
I wouldn't know why.
