Pascal, and pascal only. We might make exceptions for extremely common C
libraries on Unix but that is it.
If we were lenient with that, you now had to install Perl, Python, Ruby,
PHP, Java, .NET and LUA as well as cygwin just to be able run FPC/Lazarus on
Windows.
Programming is about programming, not about smartshopping. (unless you can
find somebody crazy enough to foot the bill for integration and support)

There should me more than enough decent C libs to port. No need to go to
extremes like Perl.
