Hmmm. It only works for C++ applications; all VB stuff won't work,
no DAO no OLEDB etc.

Still a lot of work to do. Porting freecell isn't really hard;
porting real-life applications is another matter.

That is why Lazarus, Kassandra and maybe kylix will be better suited
for portable applications.
They are built to work cross-platform from the start.
