It is a bug in msevc.py, but I didn't notice it before so there must be 
something different on your PC. Do you have Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 
4.0 installed? Do you have the Pocket PC 2003 SDK installed? If you really 
need to use a different SDK then changes to the build system and/or source 
code may be necessary. If you have both of these then what directories are 
they installed in?
