How do I create/add a sql server compact edition db in vs2010?

Question

I have vs2010 ultimate installed and sql server 2008 developer. I created a package using the openAuth Extension from the online gallery and can not find an option to add a sql server CE db to my project. I tried changing the target framework to 4.0 and still nothing.

I see a type that says SQL Server Database, but I believed that was for a full blown db to attach to sql server.

Where is compact?
