Having impgen be installed for the host system would work as long as the
target is kept in mind.  So, your impgen would be built to execute on
Linux but target binary libraries for Win32.  Much the same way GCC does
it now.  You could use dlltool to create the same files as impgen so
that impgen isn't needed AFAIK.  I could see keeping impgen if it is
possible to code it to target a different system other than Win32.
