[fpc-pascal] TFPTimer component.

[Michael Van Canneyt]

Hello,

Some time ago, Graeme Geldenhuys (hope I spelled this correct from memory)
posted some TFPTimer component to this list.

The component was changed so another timer mechanism can be plugged in,
and the result has been added to the FCL. A small test program is
provided.

The Lazarus people may want to have a look at it: this component can
be used in other than GUI programs. In time, it may be useful to recode 
TTimer so it bases itself on TFPTimer, and to use a native driver mechanism
when a GUI is available.

With my thanks to Graeme for his contribution.

Michael.
