CompactContainer rebump
Almost a year ago I did some experimentation with porting Castle Windsor to be used under the .NET Compact Framework, and while I got it done (excluding several features; mainly everything that has to do with proxys), it was clear that its implementation was not though to be used in a resource-constrained environment.

Contextual Lifestyle Reloaded
