I don't know much about Windows CE, but can't you simply use one of the
MSVC project files in the MSVC_Net2005/ or MSVC_Net2008/ subfolders?

The .def files are generated by a utility program called gendef, see
MSVC_Net2008/gendef in cairomm git or a tarball. I think you can
generate a .def file with it. The MSVC project does this
(automatically).
