Maybe we should set up a debian-pilot@ list? Seems like many people here
use a Pilot...

I'd vote for putting naming the executables /usr/bin/m68k-palmos-*
and provide links like "/usr/bin/m68k-palmos/gcc ->
/usr/bin/m68k-palmos-gcc". That way, only prepending 1 directory in your
PATH allows you to use conveniently the cross-compile tools. (That's the
setup I used to cross-package *_mips.deb packages on an i386).

Already exists: http://www.slac.com/pilone/kpilot_home/
(And yes, as the name suggests, KPilot depends on libQt)
