He should first talk to the FPC people then, to see whether we can get 
the compiler to actually compile it, otherwise Lazarus won't be able to
use it :-)

In fact, recent tests by Marco Van De Voort show that we can compile most Delphi
code with the mainbranch compiler (1.1) so the CLX is probably in reach.

Hmmmm. This leaves a bit of a wry aftertaste.
When Linux Journal was proposed an article about FPC, they refused it.
Funny what a little publicity can do. Ah well, better late than never,
we can only benefit from it.
