No, it's not that simple as you think :-) It uses wcelibcex[1] library and luace.h
contains all the missing ANSI/C bits for the CE/Mobile. Because there's no
main() function in CE/Mobile luace.c is trying to mimic it's behaviour using
WinMain() and at the end it calls main() from lua.c.

What do you mean? Include this bits in Lua? Why?

BTW I've played with cegcc and PocketPutty, but it was quite unusable 3 years
ago. Don't know the status of cegcc now. Patches are always welcome :-)
