If your going to do this, I wouldn't recomment using a POSIX layer. > Interix and Cygwin ... don't know about possible cross compiling > posibilities. Interix isn't supported on CE, like you mentioned, but it's a very effective subsystem. I prefer it over MinGW or Cygwin. As far as I know, Cygwin doesn't, but don't hold me to that, I've rarely used it. > Regards, > > Jorge-León
