If anyone has been able to cross-compile ioquake3 to x86 on a ppc Mac please
share details.  It would be nice to have a cross-make-mingw.sh equiv script
for doing this, but it doesn't appear to be as trivial.

OS X 10.4 has the cross compiler for i686, but it would also require you to
build a universal libSDL dylib (is that even possible) or link each portion
of the binary statically to libSDL.a.

Also has the OpenAL problem on x86 Macs been worked out?  If not, the binaries
would also have to be statically linked to OpenAL.  This would also be good
for making the binary compatible with OSX 10.3 for the ppc arch.   Although
it would probably be a pretty huge binary :)
