[fpc-pascal]FPC interfaces compatible with COM interfaces ?

[Thomas Schatzl]

Hello,

    here's a reply from Florian Klaempfl to me in private due to problems with
the mailing list server (translated). Probably someone is interested in it too:

Should be possible too.

COM - support for Interfaces has not been tested yet but should work in
principle. The Delphi DX8 headers should compile perfectly.

Note that some small problems / Delphi incompatibilities are remaining. These
incompatibilites are currently being resolved by him.
