If people are willing to help, I have some suggestions:

Create headers for gmp, so we can use gmp instead my own hacked bigint 
library. There is an header for gpc, but I don't know how compitable it 
is to fpc: http://www.mingw.org/cgi-bin/info2html/info2html?(gpc.info)GMP

Write a working regexpr engine. The one packages doesn't support looking 
for expressions that contain a "|" for example "ab|c".
