[fpc-pascal] CoreFoundation Freepascal MAC OSX

[md at rpzdesign.com]

I thought of a trick to get around this.

Using XCode, I can build a static library to get me access to the 
functions that I need.

But that is not really the point, I would like my freepascal environment 
to be correct
and to be able to use the functions contained in interface files like 
cfset.pas.

Any comment

Cheers,

md
