No one has responded to this ticket since it was filed last October. 
The most recent mention of WinCE which I could locate in
pod/perl*delta.pod was this from 'pod/perl5176delta.pod':

#####
=item WinCE

Building on WinCE is now possible once again, although more work is
required to fully restore a clean build.

So if support for WinCE is indeed going to be yanked starting with
5.19.1, then someone needs to write a patch for the perldelta and we'll
need a definitive decision from the power(s) that be.

Thank you very much.
