[lazarus] Itch to scratch

[Jarto Tarpio]

Hi,

I decided to check out the status of Lazarus this weekend as it 
was a while since I last downloaded and tested it. It was 
impressive to install the compiler with one rpm-command and to 
see how all the source compiled nicely after a cvs co.

The IDE has really improved a lot. Especially the source editor. It's 
fast as lightning. A lot more responsive than Kylix. There sure is 
still lots of missing functionality but this project looks promising.

Open file at cursor is not implemented yet, so I decided to give it a 
try to see if I could be of help. After a few hours of reading old 
code, I'm sure I could implement that.

There seems to be two functions that are used for finding the word 
under the cursor: GetWordFromCaret and TextUnderCursor. These 
two should maybe be combined? Anyway, these won't work with 
include files as both stop at a dot. Interestingly enough, 
uniteditor.pas also contains OpenAtCursorClicked, which is 
commented out. So someone is maybe already working on this?

Feel free to give me something to work on. I'm not familiar with 
GTK-programming, but I could give a helping hand with the IDE.
