Why not discussing those at p5p or perlce MLs?

I beleive this is a mess with a config.h (or similar files).

I never tried running Platform Builder and emulator.
I did tried running some tests at 5.8.0-tobe, and did few steps on
automating this: this isn't hard, as there is a command to invoke a command
on PocketPC, and there are some helpers in ./wince/ perl dir.

See results http://perlce.sf.net/test-16694.zip There are many files named
like ._op_pos.t-perl-stdout.txt with a contents like
1..4
ok 1
ok 2
ok 3
ok 4

... but I never analyzed details of these...

It will be good if you'll revive this.

I am planning doing more updates to ./wince/ within perl distribution this
week.

Best regards,
Vadim.
