Blush :-)

Yes I did forget.

I really stumbled across this when I was trying to write the docs/ pages
that spell out the difference between cegcc and mingw32ce.

I'll write that the mingw32ce will get C++ DLL support shortly, unless
you think that's a bad idea. Is it ?

I did read the remark about problems in it, but I didn't look much
deeper. If these are for real, we should probably mention that and tell
people to avoid the DLL in those cases.

Or is this the wrong approach ?

In the above, I am assuming that I just edit the docs and then create a
0.50 release, and that we only do changes like those (using this script
from src/build-mingw32ce.sh) after that.
