[Zlib-devel] CE Port

Hello,

I'm new on the list. My main intention is to get support for Windows CE
added to the main source distribution.

A port including binaries is available from
  http://www.tenik.co.jp/~adachi/wince/zlibce/index.html

That one seems to incorporate even support for rather old
CE versions, my target platform is CE 3.0/PocketPC at least.
Also I try to minimize the couple of additional #ifdefs within the
source code.

I already have a working copy of zlib 1.1.4 on my own, but now
try to get things done in a clean way.
A first shot on a diff set (against 1.2.0.1) is attached (really small, i.e. <2KB)
to demonstrate some problems. Except the issue of "leave" being #defined
somewhere in the system headers it is mainly working around the missing
capabilities of the C library.
Using that patch should enable zlib (as of example.c) to compile and link
as a first step. Note that on PocketPC there's limited use for
commandline applications anyway since there's no console by default.

 <<wce.diff>> 
Let me know how to proceed on getting patches incorporated.
