Done. Rebased to master and pushed to my clone.

I'm not claiming these tasks, so they're up for grabs (Eike?).

I'm refocusing on cross-compiling-toolchain-variables, because for me it is 
a higher priority to get that "done done". I also have other topics which 
can be done in parallel, but I'll defer them until that topic is in to 
eliminate distraction (at least as far as it comes from me :) ).
