Dave,

It sounds great!
Does it mean STLport was the only library you had to use?
Haven't you met any missing C library API?
Are your "minor fixes" availale in Boost CVS?

Call to all developers using Boost on Windows CE-based platforms:
what do you think about creating a table with summary of Boost libraries
which have been compiled/used/tested on this platform?

The summary could include:
- library
- SDK
- compiler
- and status information (does work or doesn't)

I'm thinking about dedicated page on the Boost Wiki [1]
