[fpc-devel] Pinguino

As the MIPS32 CPU now is supported, and I am involved in several PIC32 
projects, I am very interested in possibilities to use FPC on this cheap 
and versatile chip.

While up till now I only knew the MPLABX IDE (including C compiler and C 
libraries) by Microchip, that needed to be attached to when doing the 
RTL for fpc on such architecture, I just stumbled about "Pinguino" which 
seems to provide an "Arduino-like" universe for PIC32.

Here we have nice cheap boards such as 
http://microcontrollershop.com/product_info.php?cPath=112_160_479&products_id=4641 
that come with Pinguino "Bootloader firmware" and seemingly software 
should be done by means of the Pinguino -IDE ( 
http://wiki.pinguino.cc/index.php/Main_Page ).

Is there any plan to support PIC32-Pinguino by a variant of the fpc 
MIPS32 RTL ?
