[Lazarus] LCL and DLLs, initializing the widget set safely?

I encountered the same problems. Going a bit further I even add a bounty 
for solving these DLL problems (in fact a bit more than just this). I 
even made several bug reports but everything in this regards is always 
marked as post 1.2, which is a reason why I probably won't touch lazarus 
until it finally reaches 1.0 or this feature has been integrated.

Or maybe we can join forces to solve this problem some day. I already 
had a look into the topic and I guess to solve it permanently (not by 
making some work around), several changes at LCL level are necessary. 
Maybe some others with more knowledge about the LCL can join the team as 
well.

Kind regards,
