-the support for cross compiling Erlang/OTP should be considered as
-experimental. As far as we know, the %OTP-REL% release should cross compile

If your nif/driver depends on some other dynamic library, you now have to link
that to the Erlang VM binary. This is easily achived by passing `LIBS=-llibname`
to configure.

If you or your system has special requirements please read the `Makefile` for
additional configuration information.
