Bitpacked records have been implemented and/or greatly improved for  
all platforms some time ago by Jonas; there were some problems with  
the "old" implementation iirc. Bitpacked records are also supported  
in other modes than macpas mode, however I do not know whether it has  
been intentional to enable them in Delphi mode.
