I get it. I just thought given limited resources (time being one of the 
precious one) an individual working on the compiler could do a better 
job if they focused on one or two popular platforms and make FPC really 
shine. But I guess I don't know enogh about the process to make this 
comment.
But this sort of thing is common accross most open source projects. 
People work on what interests them and that is fair enough. What 
interests one may be useless to a lot others. To me FPC on Linux and 
Windows (and perhaps Solaris) is all I care about.
More usefull / well tested libraries on those platforms would be great.  
Unfortunately you don't get the libraries tested unless there is a 
sizable number of users of the library.Chicken and egg problem sort of.
