Come to think of it - calling uname only detects the
host, so one will have to type
make target=win32
when crosscompiling - but I think this is OK. The
way this distribution works, users will have to
compile natively twice first, and then make
the runtime libraries for the crosscompiler.

I still haven't learned how to use autoconf... :(
So I think I will go with the more "acoustic" 
approach :)
