lNet is a networking library, and has an internal event loop already 
implemented, cross-platform.

If lNet's eventer is moved into the RTL/FCL, then 'fixing' TTimer may be 
possible. As my timer was meant for lNet, the name was going to be 
TLTimer. Can't find at the moment where TTimer is declared and implemented.
