I'm not sure why you want to do this, but I am interested in something
related - namely building an OCaml/Windows cross-compiler running on
Fedora[1].  There's a bug about cross-compilation here:

  http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=4303

Does anyone have detailed steps / HOWTO before I try this? .. probably
later this week.

If this project comes to fruition then we'll be shipping tools like
virt-df and virt-top (written in OCaml) on Windows, and this implies
shipping dependent libraries too.  Of course we'll be building them
entirely from Linux ...

Rich.
