If the ar command can be overridden for the cross-win64 target instead of being hard-coded, it is possible to use MXE to do the compilation. I chose the AR environment variable because that matches [what Gnu Make uses](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#index-CFLAGS). If AR is not set, the script falls back to the hard-coded value, making this change backward compatible.
