The point is to allow building a cross-compiler without a hard
dependency on a existing
mingw cross toolchain.
Without this patch, you cannot successfully compile a cross cygwin
toolchain without a working
mingw cross-compiler.
I'll have a re-worked version at some point that is hopefully more acceptable.

Thanks,

Peter
