(For the record: I do hate this argument. Especially regarding the 
latest moves of Delphi getting more and more incompatible to itself. fpc 
can easily be both more "stringent", more versatile and more platform 
independent.)

(For the record: I do hate this argument. fpc (and even Delphi) can very 
decently be used for embedded software and much more non-Desktop or 
"special Desktop" (e.g. Gaming) purposes.)

Of course you are right. I did not want to push anybody. I just see that 
here the best possible multi-platform support is provided.

Hmm.
While I personally in fact would like to _use_ it for a Lazarus 
enhancement, I would be happy to see it usable without Lazarus.
