[ILUG] cross-compiling to Windows?

Because I don't have Windows any more. I've got it on my daughters PC, but 
it's only a Pentium MMX. My project isn't that big yet, but I've delusions of 
greatness for it.

Mainly I just want to be able to compile my project for both Linux and 
Windows from my Linux PC to ensure compatibility. I also want to compile it 
against the regular Windows libs so I know it 'should' compile for anyone who 
is using a regular Windows box to play with my project.

If anyone is interested, you can have a look at:

It's not much, but it's deep?

Cheers,

	John Gay
