I don't think it's a big problem in frameworks. I had a look through 'git 
grep -A3 WINCE' and it's mostly just excluding kjs, khtml, nepomuk etc.

In the frameworks world, those simply wouldn't be built on WINCE.

The places it is used in cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake don't even 
look WINCE specific, but more related to cross compiling?

eg :

kdeui/KDEUIMacros.cmake:        if(NOT WINCE)
kdeui/KDEUIMacros.cmake-        find_program(PNG2ICO_EXECUTABLE NAMES 
png2ico)
kdeui/KDEUIMacros.cmake:        else(NOT WINCE)
kdeui/KDEUIMacros.cmake-        find_program(PNG2ICO_EXECUTABLE NAMES 
png2ico PATHS ${HOST_BINDIR} NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
kdeui/KDEUIMacros.cmake:        endif(NOT WINCE)

It can probably be implemented better (with indentation for one thing :)), 
but I'd like to defer the decision until more splits are done.


Thanks,

Steve.
