Hi,
first of all - thanks everybody for the suggestions and the links.

I read them through, (again and again) looked around how others do it
and finally decided to really write that wiki page as Loui proposed. I
put the guidelines proposal on
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cross_Compiling_Tools_Package_Guidelines_Proposal
I and would be really glad if someone would find some time to read it
and express his opinion.

Thanks!
