Hello Don,
I'm in the middle of the creation of a full GUI-LUA framework (no name 
yet, something like GLUA?) for win32 and WCE.
Its WTL based to be as small as possible.
I suppose that I will try to host activeX in the near future, so LUACOM 
will come handy.
I'm ready to help for the windowsCE porting
Best wishes
