Please have a look at some of the Google Summer of Code projects. Some
people can do amazing things in a fraction of the time it takes others.
Oh, and they [Google Summer of Code entrants] don't get paid hundreds of
thousands of euros for their work either. So how much did you benefit
from the FPC project so far? And how much did you pay for FPC? Oh. Never
thought of contributing back, have you?

Fine, so we all now know that YOU are not interested in the project, so
lets leave it at that.

In the mean time, I'll just continue the work in my little spare time I
have, so maybe some day at least one person can benefit from it. I just
thought, by offering a bounty, the work could possibly be done in a
fraction of the time than what it would take me. My thoughts was that if
it was written in Object Pascal, more people [in the FPC community]
might be able to contribute and help here and there, just like what is
done in FPC, Lazarus, fpGUI etc.
