Compiler error on VC2005 for WinCE

[GoogleCodeExporter]

According to the msdn page: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253923%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

VC device compiler are not support bit-scan intrinsics.

So LZ4_FORCE_SW_BITCOUNT should be defined if _MSC_VER and _WIN32_WCE are both 
defined.

intrin.h not exists for WinCE env too, so the "include <intrin.h>" directive 
should also be protected by the macro.

I will handle it.
The main issue is that i won't be able to test it (lacking suitable WinCE dev 
environment) but can nonetheless propose a patch for this well-defined case.

Actually you can test it very easy, Because It's a COMPILING time error, not a 
runtime one.

So you don't need a CE device, just select an appropriate target paltform and 
do the compiling is enough.

You'll find in attached file a proposed modification of LZ4 to handle issue 17.
It should now automatically select SW_BITCOUNT for Visual + WinCE.
Actually, i can't test it, because my versions of Visual do not allow me to 
select a CE target. All i can say is that it seems to not break anything on PC 
target.

As a sidenote, the list of unsupported intrinsic of Visual 2005 is also 
documented for Visual 2008, but not for Visual 2010. Maybe a sign of vanishing 
support for WinCE ?

I have been tested the attachment and it's ok :-)

But I could not found VS 2010 option in the "Other Version" drop box. There are 
only VS2005 and VS2008 in that page.

I'm even not sure that does VS2010 support WinCE target any more?
