I don't think that mono (the runtime) can be easily compiled for WinCE
with it's current build system.

Also we currently don't have a JIT for any of the CPUs commonly used in
the pocket devices, so you would need to resurrect our IL interpreter
(mint), that I vaguely remember someone telling to being able to use in
the time range Sergey cited above. Otherwise you would need to elect one
of

What I hear some people really do is use some of Mono's managed
libraries in newer WinCE.NET devices that already have the .NET Compact
Framework runtime.
