Turns out that setting up a cross compiler to Windows is amazingly easy
thanks to mxe; I've put instructions for setting it up at
http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Cross-compiling
In future if I want to compile a custom sdl_mixer.dll build or try out 64
bit windows builds, I'll definitely use mxe for that.

>From now on I'm definitely going to cross-compile from linux to windows,
because it's 10x faster than compiling in my Win XP VM, which actually gets
slower if I give it more than one core to run on! I could make scons run
all the tests under wine when cross-compiling, then I wouldn't need the VM
when not working on gfx_directx.dll ;)
