How big would these changes actually be? The configure check
for a cross compiler is already there. We have a 'crosstest'
make target that produces PE executables alongside the ELF
executables in the test directories.

I'm wondering what would actually be needed for an analogous
'crossdll' target. The reason or one of the reasons for the current
practice of out-of-tree cross builds is that Wine's build tools 
should not be cross compiled, correct? Any other obstacle?
