Thanks, I expected it to be a separate project, that is, outside the official sources. However there is no documentation, or rather the "sources" are the documentation. The README only explains how to use it, I'm trying to understand how it works internally. I am a bit shocked that "Windows-CE-v1" has no memory protection. It seems a bit like the same trick that was used with "bootX" on old-world PowerMacs (like e.g. wallstreet laptops), to load and start the linux kernel through macOS-v9.
