I speak only for myself.

This is a component that i'd like to see compiled with fpc

http://code.google.com/p/emballo/

The problems
  - generic support: bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=20503 . Can be 
workaround by type casting
  - reflection/rtti support to call constructor of a given TClass. Can 
be work around by registering a function that returns an instance or 
using AfterConstruction to setup object instead of the constructor directly

BTW: i will take the old version version of emballo and rewrite it in an 
"FPC compatible way" to get things done in the meantime.

Looking also to http://code.google.com/p/delphi-spring-framework/ and 
http://code.google.com/p/delphi-orm/
