A cheap plywood blade installed backwards in your circular saw of choice
does a fine job for crosscuts.

You can knock together a simple guide jig (I can upload a picture somewhere)
to create your own little sliding saw for the crosscuts.

To do the angle cuts (gable ends) with saw you need one of the more
expensive sliding miter saws and the backwards blade. I just use siding
snips as I don't do it often enough to justify the expense.
