Hi,

I am keen to start contributing to the Windows CE/Windows Mobile port of Python. I 
have a lot of commerical development experience in this environment.

I would like to understand the build process for Python in a lot more detail than I 
currently do. I thought an ideal way to do this would be to have a goal of making 
PythonCE compilable under Visual Studio 2005.

Is anyone able to give me any starting tips on how I might approch this? Should I 
look at modifying the SCONS scripts to be able to detect and make use of Visual 
Studio 2005 instead of EVC, or should I go the route used by the PCBuild and 
PCBuild8 directories (i.e. desktop versions) where (I assume) someone has manually 
created a bunch of suitable project and solution files?

Thanks.
