GCC-4.0.2 on Cygwin

[Jim Tison]

Bleh ... this will teach me to post at midnight!

--build is where you're running the configury/build process. That's 
self-evident and defaults to the sane value.

--host is where you want the language processor to *run*. If you don't 
specify it, it will equal --build.

--target is the architecture for which you want the language processor 
to *emit* code.

When --host == --build != --target, you'll build a normal cross compiler.
When --host != --build != --target, you'll have a Canadian Cross.

Gotta lay off the cough syrup and catch some sleep :-)

Ciao,
--Jim--
