[fpc-pascal] Microsoft SAPI on Freepascal

[tsiegel at softcon.com]

Hmm, ok, apparently something changed in the way FPC handles objects 
between 3.31 and 3.20 (the version I'm using).

Thought I had 3.22, but <shrug>.

I guess it could be a sapi version difference too, but I don't know how 
to check that.
