	I notice we have a 'ppc-make' to help people cross compile bebox
	kernels at:
		ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/bebox/tools/ppc-make

	It would be nice if we could include wrappers like this into the
	cross packages, then we can just direct people to
	    - install cross/arm-netbsd
	    - cd /sys/arch/arm32/conf
	    - config GENERIC
	    - cd ../compile/GENERIC
	    - arm-make

	or similar.

	a) What do people think
	b) Do we need per arch or per cpu - we only need one
	   cross/m68k-netbsd package, but individual amiga-make etc
	   wrapper that set MACHINE appropriately would be useful for
	   compiling userland files?
