As fas as the windows ce port is concerned, there remains a weak point 
which makes me uneasy: the binary size growth. The single binary release 
with all the engines statically linked is pushing the limits of the os 
and the memory available at many devices.

This should be handled properly through the plugin refactoring as it was 
discussed in the list a few months ago. But lack of free time (mine) 
during the last 6 months has pushed these changes back. This particular 
piece of scummvm innards is also intimidating a little. I've started 2-3 
times to make a proof of concept patch with a single engine but due to 
all these reasons it never got through. Luckily, things are a little 
more relaxed as of last week so I will have time to spend on this task.

So the end of August seems like enough to time to have something ready. 
Even if the changes don't make it to the branch in time, wince can have 
an alpha trunk||branch release with plugins later, with or without a 
0.12.0 branch-based release on time.

Best,
Kostas
