[Lazarus] Migrating Delphi application in Lazarus cross-platform

[dominique at savagesoftware.com.au]

Hi Zilvinas
  I just had a few minutes to play with it on a Win32 box and at the moment
with a couple of IFNDEF LCLs it compiles and installs into the Lazarus
component palette. You can drop the components on a form, but currently the
THTMLViewer flickers at design time and I'm not able to display any HTML
just yet. I'll give it a quick try on my MacBook this evening, to see if I
get any further.

Dominique.
