OK. It seems like you're saying you want someone to rewrite autoconf for 
you, with full cross-compilation and multi-platform support, and 
presumably better documentation and examples than autoconf has 
(otherwise you'd just be using autoconf), for 50 bucks?

Another idea is to try to borrow code from a different project which 
already does cross-compilation. Openwrt is one which springs to mind. 
That has a set of Makefiles which will build the whole cross-compilation 
tool chain for you as well - admittedly the Makefiles are rather complex 
though. And it doesn't build Windows executables.
