Earlier attempts seem to have used BDS2006 which was the worst Delphi 
version ever.

I plan to use Delphi XE which has many bug fixes, thus it's worthy of a new 
attempt ! ;) =D

We'll see if there are any issues.

So far I am not counting on any issues but if you know of any existing 
Delphi XE bugs which might be a problem don't hesitate to post an example of 
such a bug here ;) =D

Otherwise I will assume that everything will go just fine/nicely ! ;) =D

Bye,
