We introduce DUNE_BOOT__* variables to override ocamlc -config values that are used in the bootstrap. This allows dune to be configured for cross-compilation without having to hack around with the ocamlc detection. Signed-off-by: Ali Caglayan <alizter@gmail.com>

Who is supposed to set these variables? More generally, I don't think it makes sense to have package specific cross compilation variables. |

I would like to cross-compile Dune to targets like mingw from linux. In order to do so I have to either trick the bootstrap The motivation for that in turn is to be able to distribute prebuilt Windows dune binaries. |

How about just using the existing cross compilation we have? |

Sure, I suppose that's simpler. |

Moreover, if it doesn't work or is somehow clunky, improving it will benefit all of our users and not just a single package. |
