There's an unresolved tension here between what it means to enable native compilation and the possibility of cross-compiling for other platforms. As this PR is right now, this is broken: if you run pkg-standalone-windows-x64 while you're on Linux with useNative set to true, you'll get a native linux binary with a .exe extension.

I think a better approach is to interpret and document useNative specifically as only affecting the current platform. We should still expose cross-platform build tasks, and those tasks should still work. This provides users the maximum amount of flexibility.

I renamed the option useExe to specifically use exe instead of aot for native targets, updated the documentation, and fixed the packaging.

Can you add tests for this as well? Specifically:

• Test that it generates an EXE on a non-default platform when configured to do so
• Test that it doesn't generate an EXE on a default platform when configured to do so
• Make sure there are tests that it does the default thing correctly as well (these probably already exist)

I will gladly add tests, and need some directions as to where and how I can insert these.

There are existing tests in test/standalone_test.dart. You should be able to copy and modify those.

Squashed and rebased on main/2.13.0

Yes, this looks good :)

It looks like there's a failure in one of your new tests.
