Win32 cross-compiling so far...

This sounds like massive overkill to me.  Recall that this C program is created
and executed for each run of MLton, not just for bootstrapping.  I don't want to
have an rsh be part of a normal crosscompile.  Since he is already
crosscompiling, he does already have the right header files -- he just needs to
include them in, but run the non-cross compiling gcc.
