Thanks Doug, whenever you have time that would be great. We are trying 
to figure out just how it is done, like what build method is used etc, 
because we don't do it ourselves. We may add a CI build of libcurl for 
Windows CE if it's feasible. Currently we plan to remove the winbuild 
build system in September, and I think that may be one of the last build 
systems that can be used to build libcurl with Visual Studio 2008.
