Well ok.

For explanation:

I don't plan to make this my problem right now (it may later force 
itself, but not now)
My plan was to use PascalScript. Not to rewrite it.  Now I already am 
fixing it (so strictly speaking, those fixes are (as you pointed out) 
not a real solution)

I looked at it. It looks only 32bit intel has all calling conventions 
already implemented in PascalScript. The other would need to be written 
from scratch. Not something, that I plan to do now. After all, it isnt 
my project. I will contribute those "fixes" that I do need.

Thanks again for all the help. For the rest, I will simple hope, that it 
works until a better solution exists.
