 Actually I have a question about _how_ will it work exactly: the simplest
way is definitely to just use autoconf, but it doesn't have all the
non-standard make targets such as check_physical_closure, so I would
presumably have to add them to Makefile.am too? Alternatively, I could try
to make the lmi build system work from Linux which should be possible too,
in principle, and I guess you'd prefer to use it?

 The other question is about comparing the results. I'm running the (MSW)
VM on a MSW host as well and I can't meaningfully compare its performance
with that of the cross-compiler on a different physical machine. So I need
to actually set up the VM on the Linux machine first, and then test
cross-compiling -- and this is what I am doing right now.
