+=head2 Merge the win32 and wince codebases
 
+Currently, code used to build Perl on Win32 and WinCE are maintained
+separately, but use much of the same code.  We currently have a very high
+probability of the code diverging when it shouldn't.  Ideally, the code
+for the two systems should be merged so that common code between the two
+could be shared.
