I think having this as part of the cross-packages is good.

We probably need seperate ones, to get MACHINE right.

Though I would recomend a slightly different file. Mine, which look almost
the same, execute a shell rather than make. I had some sort of problems
with make, but not with a shell script.

Plus I added a little bit to make the prompt:

foo.macppc> 

etc. :-)
