OK - I just did a CVS checkout right now (approx. time: 2003-11-08 11:09)
and I will work from this :)

Actually I would very much like to keep the cross-compile facilities! :)

I don't care so much about cross-compiling the compiler itself - but
cross-compiling Windows applications from Linux is really nice.
It is (in my opinion :) much easier to compile to all platforms from
the same development environment.

Maybe the model you mention of compiling only the asm on the target
platform is also quite simple. At least you won't have the hazzle
of messing with wierd file-path-syntax differences in the whole
project managemnt etc. I don't know if this would facilitate
compilation with the SDL-library and stuff like that?
