Add cross compilation (mingw-w64 x86_64)

Currently only cross compiling from linux64 to win64 works.
Need to test cross compilation more, currently the cross compilation
uses same profile as GCC, is that correct?

 Users are required to manually install some libraries as they can't be included in a distributed package (install with their package manager). These libraries are commonly gpu driver libraries, which vary even if you have the same cpu architecture.
 This requirement might be removed later, if the gpu driver libraries required can somehow be detected and downloaded cross platform.
 Libraries that are downloaded are available at: https://github.com/DEC05EBA/libraries
+# Cross compilation
+Cross compilation currently only works from linux64 to win64 by using mingw-w64. You need to install `mingw-w64-gcc` and optionally `mingw-w64-pkg-config` if you want to use mingw-w64 system installed packages.
+Cross compilation does currently not work if you have zig files as zig doesn't support libc when cross compiling at the moment.
 # IDE support
 Sibs generates a compile_commands.json in the project root directory when executing `sibs build` and tools that support clang completion can be used, such as YouCompleteMe.
 There are several editors that support YouCompleteMe, including Vim, Emacs and Visual Studio Code. Visual studio code now also supports clang completion with C/C++ extension by Microsoft; the extension will ask you which compile_commands.json file you want to use and you can choose the compile_commands.json in the project root directory.
