Of course if OS provides functions, use them! they should be properly
implemented and will be even faster without memory serious impact, but
I'm quite sure that not all functions will be provided by all OSs.
Maybe a small subset should be available for platforms that do not
provide native support like DOS and a WideString or UnicodeString is
available, maybe as a separate unit to be linked in only if needed.
