Cross-compilation keeps getting brought up when talking about
CMake's problems, but I've never had an issue with CMake
cross-compiling anything.

And if a user wants to compile native PE binaries (as opposed
to ELF binaries that can probably only be used inside the Bash
environment), W10 having the Subsystem for Linux and Bash doesn't
make a lick of difference - they'll still have to cross-compile,
just as they would if they were using Cygwin.
