Copy. CE and win32/win64 are afaik separate SDKs. Moreover heavy changes to
jwa* would make synchronizing with upstream (which I do once an year if
there are significant differences) more difficult.

That's why I asked ^^

Should I reduce the unit to WinCE related stuff as well? E.g remove 
$externalsym (and other C++ Builder stuff), remove Ansi types and 
functions (WinCE provides only the Widestring versions).

Sven

In the copy, yes I think you can. It will never pass upstream (in the
unlikely case Embarcadero comes up with WinCE anythime soon, they probably
will start over again anyway)

When they'll come up with a native compiler for WinCE there will only be 
a .NET based WinCE to be used :P

I'll report at Mantis once I'm done.
