[fpc-pascal] Mac OS X api cals

[Paul]

Shure this works, but we have a secure solution for Windows that's used by 
enterprise clients.
Unlike all other programs available, we don't use a P2P connection between 
the computers.
All data goes through a central server and both the contol-console and 
client-console are https-clients connecting to the server.
This makes central management easy and is also very secure.
A few of our clients also use Mac's and they are asking us for a solution.
Also, a connection has to made possible immedialety by persons who don't 
even know what a computer exactly is..
So configuring a connection or setting up a VNC will be impossible: try 
asking it your grandma and you'll know why :-)

It is an UNIX env. So admin rights is nearly meaningless.
However the `id` command should help you

Instead of reinventing the wheel you should use the Apple Remote
Desktop or a VNC client (I recommend you a SSH tunnel)

OS X Leopard provides a VNC Server

It is the *recommended* way
