Well, with the fix of the lost focus event in Lazarus, the point is moot
as far as this control goes anyway - I've changed my code appropriately
where it now closes itself if it loses focus, which was the plan
originally.  My fsstayontop and modal attempts were attempts at
workarounds for the event not firing.

Since that now works I've removed the close button and shrunk the whole
calendar a bit.  New code at same location.  Now I'm on to the next
bit...

However, I can still see dire need soon for a form that will at least
stay on top of it's parent form.  Even a modal form didn't do that...
