I completely agree with all of your objections and all suggestions but
one.  I think the NO_STDIO approach is the way to go; cloning a system
header file, especially stdio.h, is never a good idea.  (Of course, you
could make wince_stdio.h and ifdef its inclusion in place of stdio.h;
using the same name is the real problem.)

As for the other thread:

Agreed on both counts.  Hopefully the GNU folks (and everyone else ;-) )
won't continue to cc this list about it.

OK, that's the last from me for a while...

Regards,
  Greg
