[fpc-pascal] Compiling JCL

It is strange because there are conditional compilation IFDEFs for FPC.
Why to include them if the code doesn't compile anyway?
Ugly code I would say. Too many conditionals and dependencies.

I could try to strip JclCompression unit so that only the essence or "real 
beaf" is left there. It needs lots of work and feels really stupid and 
useless.

How do other people handle this? In some post someone claimed that JCL 
compiles somehow under FPC. Well, it doesn't!
