Thanks, that is correct; though I wonder if it looks like too much
trouble for a first time user and would be a deterrent rather than a
help. It seems to go against the simple, sane, repeatable nature of
mingw-cross-env, but who knows?

I added it to .bashrc, since autoconf needs to find m4 for it's build,
and both need to be available building mingw-cross-env. /usr/local
doesn't exist on Open Solaris by default, and instead of configuring
with a --prefix that's on the default path, using /usr/local makes it
very easy to "uninstall" any manual changes (rm -rf /usr/local). I'd
probably suggest:

export PATH=MINGW_CROSS_ENV/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
