cppclass is part of FPC for quite some time, but it was never finished 
(well... it isn't yet either).

The small improvements I've done till now (fix name mangling, test 
static methods) are only in trunk. Also for now only gcc 3+ (including 
4+) will be supported (thus no msvc).

In theory it should be possible to use C++ classes from shared object 
files (at least that's my plan, cause I want to use the Irrlicht library 
somewhere in the future), but I've not really tested that yet.
