Hi Thomas,
Your script works well for me on Ubuntu Feisty.
The only issue I have is, that it doesn't detect the "//Program Files/"
folder correctly for non-US Pocket PCs. (E.g. German WinCE uses
"//Programme/").
I've tried to get this directory via CeGetSpecialFolder, but was not
successful. Below my additions to rapi.py to make use CeGetSpecialFolder.
