I'm sorry for taking so long to reply.

Yes, it has been for a while (since the GTK+ version can't be compiled on 
Windows without getting the new GTK+ DLL's, changing the GTK+ units, and 
adjusting all the Makefiles).

The Lazarus project status in general is indicated on the web site.  As for 
the Win32 LCL, most components are implemented, but not everything has been 
tested and there are quite a few bugs left.

That's good.  I'm a rank amateur who's amazed himself by getting anything 
working.  All the Win32-API interface code's in lcl/interfaces/win32.  Have 
fun!
