mingw -> linux cross compiler

[Wayne]

"I went to msys because Cygwin didn't come with a binary compiler
(that I could find--people tell me it's there but I don't see it)."

gcc has been available as part of the package for Cygwin for a long time
now.  It is in the "Devel" category.  It is NOT installed in the 
default/minimal install.  I recommend in general, when running setup
(make sure you update to the newest) that you take a couple of minutes
and click open the categories, it shows you what is available, where,
and gives you a chance to make sure it is being installed.  Many useful
tools such as Perl, Python and GSL are there....

Current version of gcc in Cygwin is gcc-3.3-1 I think....
