So, I think I'm on the edge of understanding something.
Mingw-cross-env does something closer to the Canadian Cross (1) by
creating a pseudo system that then is the host for the final target.
This hidden "host" executes natively, but isn't actually part of the
native system or the target system. I think this is the source of most
of my confusion.
