Just trying with the latest svn trunk. Took some hacking to get it to 
compile, especially that it seemed to want links from 
/usr/local/wince/cross../{lib/include} to /usr/local/wince/{lib,include}.

So I ripped apart vlc.c until my axim would at least load vlc.exe. I 
found that if I cleared out everything in main() (except the return 
statement), it loaded.

If I only added back in the fprintf(), it did not load.

If I only added back in the VLC_Create(), it did not load.

Not sure this helps much. Where should I head to from here to help look 
further into this?
