cross-compiling Python

[Dan Kegel]

I've collected a few notes about crossbuilding Python at
   http://kegel.com/crosstool/python.html
The patch ptxdist uses is good, but doesn't keep
setup.py from finding build system libraries when
building extensions.  I think the Gentoo patch does
(see where it puts a prefix on the /usr it searches in).
And then there's the patch in the Python patch tracker
that adds autoconf support for crosscompilation.
Somebody should wrap all those up in a nice package
and get 'em in the python mainline.  Guido expressed
support for the idea a couple years ago, so it might
actually happen.
