Yes, 4.2., I'm using method #2. I don't mind using #4, I just figured out
#2 first.

I'm curious why is #1 a hack? The only difference between #1 and #2/#3 is
the location of the DLL (FLATRELEASE vs. some other folder). Perhaps the
original intent was to have everything associated with the platform in one
folder and this breaks that assumption. Is there a deeper darker piece I am
missing? After all, 5.0 has hard links to files to decrease the need for
copying files all over the place. Since the path to the file is all macros,
this should work from one installation to another.

As I was writing this I came up with another question. Can I simply set
WINCEREL=1 in the SOUCES file for my driver, build it, then make image
(removing all the copy stuff per #2)?

Thanks,
Nick.
