Because the developpers don't want to support several different ways
to reach the same goal, so they did choose to add cross-compilation
support in a somewhat different way ...

They do. The basic idea is that ideally, just doing
'CROSS_COMPILE_PREFIX="i386-mingw32-" ./Configure mingw' followed by
'make' should work (Of course, use whatever is appropriate in your
installation instead of "i386-mingw32-"). However, that's just the theory,
that I gathered from by following the mailing list, I don't know how well
this approach does already work in practice (particularly, I don't know
about the 0.9.8 releases, they seemed to be mostly busy with trying this
on what is going to be 0.9.9). Also, it's been some time since my last
cross-compile of OpenSSL, so I didn't try this yet...
HTH,
Stefan
