I think it woud be very useful if someone familiar with the inner
workings of FPC/Lazarus could create the wrapper needed to port a
Delphi service application using TService to fpc/lazarus, probably
using TDaemon as parent or similar.

I tried it last week but wound up with Lazarus unable to start since
it tries to reload the faulty project including the half/baked attempt
at defining TService as a child of TDaemon....
And it ends with Lazarus unloading from memory (aka crashing)...
