Hi,

thank's for your work on this documention.

Here are some more hints which might help people to get cross
compilation for Windows running. http://qemu.weilnetz.de/debian/
includes some packages which I made from the GTK all-in-one bundles and
also packages for libfdt which I compiled from the sources.

Regards
Stefan
