Daniel / deepfrenzee,

Yes, this is tricky, but feasible. At least, I've managed to build MITAB
as a part of the GDAL project (what Daniel has mentioned).

Yes, there are, but mostly not WinAPI but C library is incomplete.
For this purpose, I've developed an extension/supplement for the C
library and POSIX on Windows CE - WCELIBCEX:

http://mateusz.loskot.net/projects/wcelibcex/

The WCELIBCEX is used as a compilation enabler while
building GDAL for Windows CE.

I believe this is unnecessary because MITAB compiles without
problems using WCELIBCEX.

Here is solution for Visual C++ 8.0 (2005)

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/wince

However, this one may needs some update and I'm going to do it soon.

Here, you can find alternative solution for Visual C++
and I this one is more up to date:

http://trac.osgeo.org/moss4g/browser/trunk/libs/gdal

This is a part of the more complete framework of a bunch of libraries I
ported and maintain for Windows CE platform under common name - MOSS4G

http://trac.osgeo.org/moss4g/browser/trunk/libs/

Feel free to send your further questions to gdal-dev,
I'll do my best to help.

p.s. Daniel, I believe I've not subscribed to the [email protected]
list, so please could you forward my message there? Thank you!

Cheers
