[fpc-pascal] Timers in FPC

[Rick Seiden]

There's a contributed units <http://www.freepascal.org/contrib/db.php3> 
link on the freepascal.org home page.  Perhaps it could go there.  Right 
under it is a Contribute <http://www.freepascal.org/contrib/add.php3> 
link that allows you to add it to the contributed units database.

I know this isn't adding it to the base RTL stuff, but it's a start for 
now, no?

If you never have the courage to lose sight of the shore,
You'll never know the utter terror of being forever lost at sea
