A cross-compile script is not a Windows binary, installable by even
the most clueless fool.  But we're getting there.....

Great!  Then create a foolproof Windows binary of the gEDA toolkit
which installs on arbitrary Windows systems.  Put it in a place where
folks can download  it.  Modify the gEDA wiki to point to it.
Assuming it works, the download link will quickly find its way to the
main gEDA downloads page.

Unless I am missing something (always possible), somebody actually
*doing* that work is what is missing here.
