I don't suppose this can decently and portable and tested for all
available archs and OSes be done in just a few hours :)

It (a non-gui depending TApplication that works without any GUI binding)
seems to be available with MSEGUI. So it would be viable to ask Martin
to provide it.

I definitely will use it some day. I am already planing this (embedded)
project since long.

I would use the MSE1-GUI sources if I start the project, but it I just
can use the RTL for that purpose, some complexity would be avoided.

I of course do agree. I don't remember if MSEGUI does it this way, but I
feel it would be the most straight forward implementation method.
