[fpc-pascal] Windows on ARM, how fast it can be implemented?

[Max Vlasov]

Thanks for the info, Sven. I will probably have a chance to get a device
and jailbreak it, although not right now. If someone on the list does this
before me, I'll be glad. I did not find any prior discussion about this
topic, seems like it's not that hot to be discussed and everything.
