[Caml-list] [ANN] opam-cross-windows

[whitequark <whitequark@whitequark.org>]

Hi all,

I've released opam-cross-windows[1], a 4.02.3 OCaml toolchain
in the spirit of opam-cross-android[2] (ex opam-android).
It provides easy cross-compilation of the OCaml compiler
and select packages from any *nix environment to 32-bit
and 64-bit x86 Windows.

There aren't many packages yet but you're encouraged to submit
your own. Personally, I find the porting process that uses
the opam-cross-* conventions so simple and robust that it
can be done nearly mindlessly.

The cross-compiled package definitions themselves are
identical to the ones from opam-cross-android (except for
s/android/windows) so I think cross-compilation should gain
at least minimal OPAM support; I've described my proposal
at [3].
