Shouldn't be too hard (he said in blissful ignorance of the PocketPC
platform :-).  I think the place to start is with libunpluck, which is
a C library that gives you access to the basic document format.  That
should be converted to run on Win32 (I'm assuming PocketPC is
basically a Win32 platform).  A simple way to do this would be to port
"explode", a short program which uses libunpluck.  Both libunpluck and
explode are very vanilla programs; I'd think you could more or less
just re-compile them for Win32.  They're both in the CVS; under tools.

After that, you could adapt the GTK+2 viewer code (which uses
libunpluck) to be a Pocket PC viewer.  If there's an HTML widget or
even a Word widget in the Pocket PC toolkit, that should be enough to
support the viewer functions.
