Thanks for your contribution. I'll have a look at this.

If cmake is really needed, I'll try to make it a requirement.

Can anyone provide the correct Debian/FreeBSD/OpenSolaris/...
package names for CMake?

This information is needed to update the documentation at
http://mingw-cross-env.nongnu.org/#requirements

I think that your comments are great, although a bit verbose.
Can't the long compiler line be reduced to something like this?

    i686-pc-mingw32-g++ `pkg-config osc --cflags` `pkg-config osc --libs` ...

Anyway, I think that it shouldn't go into the Makefile, because
it's somewhat hidden there. I think it would fit well in the
tutorial as:

    Step 5d: Cross compile your Project (OpenSceneGraph)

Would you mind providing a documentation patch for "doc/index.html"
of the current development version?

That's no problem. I'll fill that gap in. This is usually the
"fun part" when adding a new package. :-)
