[fpc-pascal] Implementing AggPas with PtcGraph

[Stefan V. Pantazi]

I've tested the example on 64 bit linux as a native application as well 
cross compiled for a x86_64 windows target. Worked fine in both Wine and 
on a Win64 machine.

In my experience, the one dependency that AggPas has potential to fail 
may be related to the freetype library. If you plan to run your app on 
windows only, then you can turn freetype off and AggPas will happily use 
windows font libraries. Search for the AGG2D_USE_FREETYPE define and 
comment it out.

Hope this helps,

Stefan
