+To cross compile for Windows, the following needs to be done:
+
+1) Uncomment the lines under "mingw" in config.mk, and comment any earlier CC & LDFLAGS lines.
+
+2) Compile a copy of openssl for mingw.
+   Download OpenSSL from openssl.org, then run:
+  ./Configure mingw --cross-compile-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32-
+  make 
+
+3) Set the OPENSSLDIR variable in config.mk to match where you compiled openssl
+
+4: Set up tcl Starkit prerequisites:
+   Download tclkit from http://tclkits.rkeene.org/fossil/wiki/Downloads
+   Download sdx from https://chiselapp.com/user/aspect/repository/sdx/index
+   Create a shell script called sdx and put it in your path, containing something like this:
+  #!/bin/sh
+  d="$HOME/src/getxbook"
+  "$d/tclkit-8.6.3-rhel5-x86_64" "$d/sdx-20110317.kit" "$@"
+  Download a windows tclkit including tk from http://tclkits.rkeene.org/fossil/wiki/Downloads and ensure the adjust W32TCLKIT to the appropriate filename in config.mk if needed
+
+Then 'make' and 'make dist-win' should all work as expected
