Break is over and I didn't find a better working buildsystem for WincE than 
vcproj in the meantime. :-/

In the current trunk the vcproj files all use the Win32 defines. Because Win32 
an WinCE have some parts in common i'd like to split the current vsprop files. 
To keep the vcproj files readable i prefer to add a second vcproj file for 
e.g. JavaScriptCore and a solution file with this new vcproj file.
I'd like to start with the JavaScriptCore for "STANDARDSDK_500 (ARMV4I)".

The last blocker for WinCE JavascriptCore is the missing TextCodec (see 
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32169) with a pending review request 
for a month.
