Cygwin actually doesn't care how many .'s there are or characters after the
., so long as it fits in the Win32 filename maximum.

I have this mostly implemented, and will commit it tomorrow after pruning a
few things.  It includes a change that will make a sane default for TOOLDIR
based on host and target platforms.

There's no need for HOST_* and TARGET_*, actually.  That would probably only
introduce more confusion.  It's much simpler to use only MACHINE and
MACHINE_ARCH during the build, and identify the host where needed (as part
of the default TOOLDIR and the obj directories of src/tools).
