I described it. Properly means that the resulting directory is
136MB in size. That also means no zero length files are present
in the tree (as placeholders for links).

One such file is actually the GCC executable which we need
to call from GNU Make and hbmk2:

opt\mingw32ce\bin\arm-wince-mingw32ce-gcc.exe

it's zero length with these tools, but should be 360474 bytes.

It's a little bit hard to understand why mingw32ce developers
thought it a good idea to distribute a Windows package which
cannot be unpacked on Windows...

If I'm asking for the impossible I'll have to either drop mingwarm
option from the final builds or include mingw32ce in our package.
I don't really like any of these options :(

Brgds,
Viktor
