This is indeed the most interesting thing about fpc to me. If the OS community
can do it, then why cant Borland? I watch very closely the efforts to getting
important libraries working on fpc especially GLScene. I will certainly
download fpc/lazarus when that is done. Borland meanwhile still doesnt
give us a 64bit compiler - another reason why having to put code into C.
