+Windows Cross Compiling Update
+----------------
+
+To cross compile scripts on Windows (cross-lua), you'll need to install a few packages:
+
+* A GCC compiler. link:http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/index.php[TDM-GCC] was tested,
+  but other GCC for Windows distributions should work.
+* Python 2.7 (from link:http://www.python.org[python.org] or other distributions).
+* link:https://github.com/rjpcomputing/luaforwindows/releases/[Lua for Windows].
+
+Run lua cross-lua.lua and then you're ready to cross compile Lua scripts!
