Great.

No one before has reported any attempt of cross compiling libcurl for
WinCE, as such and as you have discovered, the support was not in
there right now. The good news is that the situation can be improved.

Setting up a temporary autobuild would help me in helping you.
Otherwise you'll have to mail me build logs of what is in CVS
directly. If you can set up the autobuild, please do.

The cross-compiling change that is actually needed is to use -lwinsock
for windows targets that don't fully implement winsock2. I'll take
care of this quite soon.

The above errors are due to the fact that the WinCE cross compilation
does not use lib/config-win32ce.h to fine-tune the build process. I
would prefer to see the build logs before adjusting further.

Quite normal at this stage. I'll try to improve this with your help.
