I am strongly against this last solution. ;-)

There is a mseclasses unit in MSEgui already. The "mse" prefix is used for 
MSEgui units, "m" prefix is used for forked FPC units. Maybe it should be 
changed to "mfp" or the like. Marcos, what do you think? FPC AFAIK does not 
support unit alias option so it will break existing code.
