Correct -- the resulting .exe is completely standalone and linked only
against DLLs which have shipped with ever version of Windows since
Win95 OSR2.

Yes, it gets built as part of the process of building the cross-compiler.

BTW, there are detailed instructions on how to build the
cross-compiler in the README file in the XWT source code distribution,
along with a few handy patches for features that didn't make it into
3.1 (like stack traces). You can find this at www.xwt.org.
