655503 - Remove WinCE & Windows Mobile support from NSPR

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

WinCE & Windows Mobile code is being removed from mozilla-central by bug 614720 - since it's broken, no longer supported, and only serves to complicate code maintenance. 

For completeness, I'm filing this bug to see if removal of WinCE support from NSPR is going to be possible/desired, or whether there are say non-mozilla users of it.

I'll either create the patch if this can go ahead - or if not, mark WONTFIX and the decision will at least be documented for the future (meaning I'm one step closer to closing the meta bug 614720).

In case comment 0 wasn't clear, I mean upstream NSPR, not just the mozilla-central copy.

Ed: thank you for the bug report.  I don't want to remove the WinCE support
from NSPR immediately.
