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.

hrm. And what if I only need the library ? Is wcelibcex still needed ?

and btw, is the whole wcelibcex needed ? Maybe only some functions need to be ported. In that case, writing them would be sufficient. I did that for the graphic libraries i mentioned in my previous mail
