[fpc-pascal] OT: Rename for Pascal

[Andreas Berger]

I am doing two free-lance projects at the moment for two clients. One 
insists that I use C++ and Qt. When I suggested Delphi (I started this 5 
years ago) he was offended. The other client didn't care. When I told 
him about installation of one singe EXE (no libraries, dll's and other 
dependencies) he approved instantly. Both projects are still active 
today. The smaller Qt project is still in alpha while the (now) lazarus 
project is past version 2.0. I don't mind the C++ project as much since 
I earn more $$ with it. I do a lot more work for the same result - and I 
am paid by the day.

I have no problem with the 'Free' in Free Pascal since the new and 
improved pascal I am using today cost the client so much less than the 
Delphi of yesterday. Of course he mainly sees me using Lazarus, so that 
may help.
