[lazarus] FreeCLX and Kylix news!

[Michael A. Hess]

Greetings,

Borland has given us a heads up about FreeCLX. They have placed the
current FreeCLX source on SourceForge and have let us know so that we
can start looking at it with regards to making Lazarus work with
FreeCLX.

However, the initial evaluation by the FPC team isn't that good. Many of
what might be considered essential parts are missing. Other parts that
are included will only work with Kylix. I have conveyed some of these
concerns to M. Swindell at Borland and we will see what the response is.
However the open source'ness and free'ness of CLX that Borland is
proclaiming might not be as open as one would hope.

An announcement from Borland about FreeCLX should be forth coming in a
few days.

If you would also like to look at the code you can get it out of CVS.
Here is the SourceForge location for the project.
