Having done lots of cross wind take offs in a PA 28 under very gusty conditions I can tell you that a conventional still air approach is positively dangerous. Under those conditions you can safely hold the aircraft down by slight forward pressure and the rotate at about 75 KIAS confident that the aircraft will then leave the ground more or less instantly and stay up.
