2005-01-01 J. Ali Harlow <ali@juiblex.co.uk>
* configure.in: Don't use AC_TRY_RUN to test for long long format
when using the MSVCRT.DLL runtime since we know the answer anyway
and it causes some mild inconvience when cross compiling.
* README.win32: Add a reference to the cross compiling section
of the reference manual.
* docs/reference/glib/cross.sgml: MinGW uses MSVCRT.DLL which
requires %I64i instead of %lli. (#161306)
