Libtool has no wince maintainer.  If we cannot even get simple questions
answered about WinCE, then we cannot ensure to keep Libtool working on
this system.  Questions answered are a necessary, but not necessarily
sufficient condition for keeping a port working.  Regular regression
testing is usually necessary as well, even if there are none to few
changes specific to some port.  For systems Charles, the Peters, Bob,
Gary, and I have access to, regular testing is pretty much a given,
which sums up to something like 3 dozen different setups at least
(users do more testing, but I have less of an overview off-hand).

Right now I have one simple question: can I assume that the preprocessor
symbol _WIN32_WCE is defined for wince code, and usually not defined for
non-wince code?

This question is the only impediment for this particular patch.  Of
course, a regression test of Libtool with this patch on wince would be
much better even.

Thank you,
Ralf
