Configure is supposed to check whether there is a working ctangle exe in PATH already. At least, that is what I remember.  But I cannot actually test anything on the ipad right now.

actually it does need the tangle related bins which is why they are 
provided too (we did lots of tests and crosscompiling 32/64 bit should 
work on linux as well as under msys but different command line switched 
are needed; the compilation under msys is dead slow due to inefficient 
configure)
