It's atm. only possible to link c programs within pascal programs. C++ support 
will be worked on this year.

The other way using Pascal in C also needs some more research as the 
initialization code for Pascal needs to be called before you can use it.
C uses .ctor and .dtor or something like that but there is no documentation 
about such things, so support still hasn't added
