Hi,

I created the last few releases of PythonCE but I haven't done any work on 
PythonCE for a while, and anyway I am away from home for this week at least. 
In any case though, having the patches available on SourceForge is quite 
useful for anyone else who might want to run Python on these Windows CE 
platforms. Patches are preferred in unified diff format, and would ideally 
be patches for one of the PythonCE source tarballs, but could also be 
patches for an official Python release.
