Some time ago I started some kind of "unit categorization"
(http://wiki.freepascal.org/Unit_categorization) aiming to help with
finding the right unit for a particular task. Obviously, it's just a start
and doesn't include anything from FCL, packages, etc., but it may still
help new users to find their way around.

I'm not sure whether this found its way into the docs, though.
