The difference between "array of const" and "varargs" (in external cdecl 
declarations) is
a) the way you call them (with "[...]" or without)
b) that you will see in the declaration that you are able to pass 
additional arguments in the case of "array of const".

So I personally prefer the "array of const" notation, but they are 
semantically the same in this case.

Btw: "array of const" normally means a "generic" type and is used by 
e.g. the Format function.

There are many nice gems in Free Pascal... one just needs to find them :D
