So basically this is a total mess for Lazarus, Kylix and Delphi. :-( How 
does other cross-platform toolkits handle this? For example Qt or 
wxWidgets?  Or maybe more interestingly, Java?

We used to use that in Delphi and Kylix CLX applications. It was a mess 
as well!

So if you change your monitor to say a Widescreen LCD or downgrade your 
Windows XP to Vista, then you might have to search and replace the value 
of LAZYFOXSTRING for all the applications you every developed and still 
maintain?  :-(
