   Uhm.  That is just because we are using guile itself for
   building documentation.  It's just because my linux refuses to start
   Windows binaries :-)

oops, i guess the subject line didn't penetrate my foggy consciousness.
i suppose it would be rather shocking if this were to occur (absent some
emulation layer, but people seem willing to go to those lengths...) (i
mean, running usloth binaries outside usloth environment, not subject
line penetrating consciousness -- ah, never mind).

   Just one: The guile_filter_doc_snarfage executable could be created
   using HOST_CC instead of CC.  This would get the build process one
   step further.  I could rearrange the Makefile.am to achieve this.
   Any objections?

sounds like to go all the way, we need to rpc a usloth box somehow,
which is outside the standardized cross-build semantics/capabilities
(can you confirm or refute this?).  probably getting one step closer is
not worth the trouble if we cannot go all the way.
