[Simh] SIMH on Windows CE

[Jason Stevens]

The MS pages really vary wildly in quality, the 'tech' stuff seems to
miss major details, and the blog stuff seems include major details in
passing...

Luckily for me this site, hpcfactor (http://www.hpcfactor.com/) has a
lot of the old VC toolkits for CE.. which has been a massive help.  I
just hate how MS pretends old products never existed... But at the
same time, I'm kind of liking the setup... I must be weird, I guess.
