Issue 27: Cross compilation of monotone requires several fixes to the build scripts/make

txt2c needs to be build with the build system compiler, not the 
target compiler, the attached patch txt2c-cross.patch fixes the 
problem in the OpenEmbedded build environment but probably won't 
work anywhere else (it might do if BUILD_CXX is defaulted to CXX).

The boost version checking simply doesn't work - AC_TRY_RUN fails in 
a cross compiler environment, however AC_TRY_COMPILE works fine in 
this context.  The attached file configure.ac.patch should work 
anywhere (cross or native).



monotone version:

0.22 (from source tarball)

I've applied the configure.ac patch; as you say, the txt2c patch 
breaks compilation on everything _except_ OpenEmbedded, which isn't 
so good :-).  Happy to apply a patch that didn't have this problem, 
though.
