The real benefit with git is that it supports bringing more contributors
to reSIProcate, which in turn means the net number of cycles spent on
reSIProcate goes up.  I don't see it primarily as something for my own
convenience (as I can already work privately with git-svn tracking the
SVN repo), but as an initiative for community building.

I don't have time to fully document this now, but I would just observe that:

- slightly under half of what you request is explained in the configure
help text, e.g.

     ./configure --help

- and some other things (cross compiling) should work the normal
autotools way (i.e. any standard autotools guide explains these things,
and there is nothing special I have done for it with reSIProcate), e.g.

     ./configure CC="/opt/toolchain/for/cross/compile/cc"

My first effort to answer this more fully is likely to involve giving
links to the autotools manual pages and/or some useful examples, but
people with really specific needs can find the best support through the
autotools community and the mailing lists (where questions do get
answered quite quickly)
