-Notes for Windows CE:
-----------------------
-Libassuan supports WindowsCE (tested with WindowsMobile 6.5). To
-install it, copy libassuan-0.dll into a location where DLL are found
-and install the included gpgcedev driver: First copy "gpgcedev.dll"
-into the root directory, second run the included program gpgcemgr on
-the device: "gpgcemgr --register". This creates the necessary
-registry keys. In case the copy step fails, the driver may still be
-in use: Close all applications using that driver, run "gpgcemgr
---deactivate" to deactivate the running driver and try again.
