It is not only about finding visual studio but also about configuring
cl. If you look into your Visual Studio 2003-2008 folders for
*.platform.config xml files. You will find the correct settings for
INCLUDE LIB and LIBPATH, and several futher flags required for the
respective windows or windows ce platform.

The different wince cmake patches all parse the file to get some of
the settings right. But the environment itself is not configured. I
also wondered whether it would be possible to set the environment
automatically, based on the windows platform selected.

kind regards
Andreas
