Added to CVS. Thanks.

Btw, all this autotools support in dpkg-cross seems to be a complete mess 
currently. I've almost never touched it since I took the package, but it 
definitly needs some sort of rework, like:
- clean separation of per-os, per-endianness and per-cpubits /32 or 66/ 
vars - so cross-config.$arch only includes those, and defines things that 
are individual for the arch;
- some sort of framework that will scan debian packages and find vars that 
should be defined

Any ideas? I'm CCing to debian-embedded in hope for a reply on this...
