Of course this is true for the original Delphi "procedure ... message",
which would need to be replaced by some portable (inter-thread)
messaging mechanism. IIRC, this is already available on Lazarus and/or
MSEGUI,

But for TThread-synchronize and TTimer the implementation dependent
details are hidden in the appropriate TApplication code, anyway, so no
portability problem here.
