Only thing I know, is that most other databases also have problems with
wince. First problem is that a lot of sql-based db engines simply don't
support WinCE. Second problem are misaligned-data problems in the
db-units.

And the only thing I know about alignment, is that it has something to
do with starting each 'thing' (word, integer, longint) on an
memory-location that could be divided by 2/4/8/whatever.

And since I'm the one who's responsible for the db-unit, that could give
some problems.... ;)

I'll have to do some more research and try to get fpc working on a wince
emulator or something, sometime, to fix this.
