You mean the cygwin runtime package, correct?

This form will be fully deprecated in the next release of autoconf.  Basically,
I do `../configure --prefix=/usr' for building packages.  And since I'm using
stow, I typically do make install prefix=/usr/stow/package-M.M.V to install it.

In the CVS version of autoconf doing ../configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin will
indicate a cross compile.
