Cross-compilation is not documented at the moment.. Mainly because it's not an 
easy exercise...

I have a directory called 'tinderbox' that contains

- the Makefile from build/win32/tinderbox
- a 'bin' directory containing all files from build/win32/tinderbox
- a prebuild/Release and prebuild/Release64 directory containing prebuilt (on 
windows) 32 and 64 bit versions of workrave-applet.dll. In 
frontend/win32/applet/src will will find a buildall.cmd script that build 
these from the command line (you need to install the Microsoft SDK for this I 
think).
- an empty snapshots directory. The directory will contain the results.

Furthermore, you have to install wine and (using wine) some windows programs:
- Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 (Not sure if you can still download this 
one. alternatively, harpoon can also be compiled on windows)
- Microsoft SDK
- InnoSetup 5

Also, you need to install a mingw cross compiler (debian/ubuntu have standard 
packages for this) and cross compiled gtk/gtkmm libraries. I use the 
build/win32/build-packages.sh script to build and install these dependencies.

Then run 'make all' in the tinderbox directory.

Thanks! Patch applied and pushed.
