Those changes were not required, (almost) everything worked still fine 
with the old code. They made the changes to take advantage of the new 
functionality in FPC 3.0, because the end result is much simpler code 
both in the LCL and in user programs.

The wiki page is mainly to explain all of the things you no longer have 
to do when using this new method.
