I started a test with a simple generic red-black tree implementation:
http://fpcfun.firmos.at/bin/view/Freepascal/GenericRedBlackTree
played around with it a bit and put it in our commercial codebase
dropping 12 different red-black tree implementations units with nearly 
the same code.

I am happy with the generics implementation at the current state
it is practically usable!
