it does work, but it is only tested for the linux -> linux case. the mingw and
macosx cross builds did require changes, which didn't go into 3.3 before the
first beta release. what is completely missing is the cross build infrastructure
to build third party extensions. so maybe it's a bit early to announce it in the
release notes.
