On the #WINCE platform, we don't have perror() available to us as seen here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/typelib/xpt/tests/SimpleTypeLib.c#162 and we need to use something like: fprintf(stderr, "FAILED: fopen");

Declare perror with FormatMessage and GetLastError for WINCE.

If build is successful, the built binary will not work correctly since WINCE needs wmain function.

Thanks for pointing that out. My initial goal is to get things building, but will need them to run. I like your approach here to create a stable version of perror(...). Lets continue with this patch to include the wmain. I would like to get blassey's feedback on the general approach we should take for wmain.

I missed a void.

we should get this checked in. Getting the tests to build allows us to test with a lot of other tests. Fixing the few programs that depend on wmain only limit a few specific tests.
