Note that FPC's bitpacked is not necessarily the same bitpacked as  
what the old compiler used (although there aren't that many choices  
for 1-bit values, obviously), and that the internal format of  
bitpacked arrays/records is not guaranteed to remain compatible  
between different FPC versions either (and additionally it is  
*guaranteed* to be incompatible between CPUs with a different  
endianess).
