Re: [PATCH]: Cross building and Cygwin fixes.

Hi,

This didn't make it into the patch, obviously.  I was not familiar
with the workbook symlinks.

+Cross building Guile  =====================================================
+
+As of guile-1.5.x, the build process uses compiled C files for
+snarfing, and (indirectly, through libtool) for linking, and uses the
+guile executable for generating documentation.
+
+When cross building guile, you first need to configure, build and
+install guile for your build host.
+
+Then, you may configure guile for cross building, eg:
+
+    ./configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin --disable-shared
+
+Two special options for cross building are available:
+
+--with-cc-for-build      --- native C compiler, to be used during build
+                             defaults to: `PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH cc'
+
+--with-guile-for-build   --- native C compiler, to be used during build
+                             defaults to: `guile', assuming you just
+                             installed this guile natively.
+

 Using Guile Without Installing It =========================================
 
 If you want to run Guile without installing it, set the environment
