Ok, silly me was trying to compile with exception handling (EH) support
for cancellations without first reading about pthread-win32 vs. what
WinCE supports.

So I'm now using nmake VC in stead of the VCE target, and noticed that
some newer parts of pthread-win32 are again (contrary to what the WinCE
port once changed, according to its README file) including errno.h

Changing those to need_errno.h seems to fix that mostly. I attached that
patch. I'm not sure if an errno.h should be included, but if not I'm
guessing this is a little problem that can easily be fixed by replacing
them with need_errno.h? (actually .. I have no idea, I should study the
WinCE port first, I know)

I only have one problem remaining: winver.h does not exist in the
include dir of that PocketPC 2003 SDK.

I'm not really a Windows developer when it comes to C/C++, that I keep
for my Linux/Posix stuff, so If somebody here can enlighten me .. that
would be great ;-)

Thanks.
