We need to start with hpcboot.  Apparently we need "Windows CE
Embedded Toolkit for Visual C++ 5.0" to compile new hpcboot for WinCE
2.0.  The former is not available from the Microsoft site.  It's
probably available on some old MSDN CDs.  The vc5 itself is of course
commerical, and EOL'ed.  But we should be able to compile with only
the SDK, the IDE is only realy used to generate the makefiles.
