How does it mean this? I'm not sure to understand, but if you are saying
something like correlate folding with pascal syntax, I'm not sure this
is a good idea...

But this arises the problem of consistency between separate files. The
other files (*.fld) will probably contain line numbers from the source,
and what would happen if the source file is changed by other means?

Great. But precisely, what is the problem about compiling the Ide? I
offered myself to help in some way. It is possible to include a
precompiled version of that parte of code that is not free? Or any other
way to let compiling possible?
