[fpc-pascal] history

In the course of trying to compile fpc docs, I compared file msg2inc.pp
of svn to that of the fpc-2.0.0 source tarball.  No change whatsoever
had been made to the code, but all the revision history has been
removed since fpc-2.0.0.  This means that users will henceforth be
unable to know who to thank or curse for the code, or how and when
it evolved.

I would recommend that revision history be retained on all source code,
so that future users can know whose shoulders they are standing on,
and appreciate the difficulties that were encountered along the way.
