A:
You could build on OmuMapper ?
(Obviously there's a strong chance this wont meet many challenges you might place in front of it. Are you really interested in all the AM features? Is size an issue? Any more context you can give?)
EDIT: As they've RTW'd over at AutoMapper Maybe now is the perfect time to ask the question in their forum while the eyes of the world are watching.

I'm just interested in a simple mapper that works on the .NET Compact Framework. Are you going to post your mapper on Google Code / CodePlex?

@DanielO: Not sure whether you're referring to me or Omu. My answer was that I strongly believe that writing YAM is bad news for lots of reasons. On the other hand (where I have different fingers), depending on your exact usage scenario (you could elaborate in order to give us a picture of how much mapping you're doing and whether you're doing formatting and whether performance matters in your context), it may actually make sense to write something Quick And Dirty as Omu has a) shown is possible b) using. Omu posted most of his and looks open to sharing - I'd ask him.

OK. I've seen that AutoMapper has CF support in the horizon, so I'll just go with the small mapping system until then.

That's great news. The last thing you want is to be maintaining and extending something that isnt core to you.
