I have fixed this.

I will add an overloaded version of execl which accepts an ansistring
or a pchar.

I will take care of this as well.

Both things (TPoint,ExecL issue) should be finished tonight.

My apologies for the late reaction, but I am indeed very busy, and have
been skipping many lazarus messages.

Luckily I read this one at least :)

Feel free to contact me personally if there are any other problems that
need fixing in order to compile Lazarus.
Normally, I always read and answer personal emails.

Michael.
