Ok, I asked you to use 0.8.0 because the author of the WinCE port on 
sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlcpocketpc/) has not been 
seen around for quite some time and has never submitted its changes back to 
us. In short, the project is outdated and seems to be dead.

Now, it is true that things are missing in the WinCE port in 0.8.0. Like the 
the starter code (vlc.c) but this one shouldn't be difficult to fix or the 
WinCE interface which could be ported over from the vlcpocketpc code but 
would require quite a bit of cleanup.

As for DirectX, I thought it wasn't available on WinCE. Has this changed 
with WinCE 5.0 ? If it has, then a patch excluding the offending code with 
an UNDER_CE define will be welcomed.
