[Lazarus] Delphi wxWidget plugin for Lazarus

Well, being a "wierd" Delphi guy, I hope I provided at least some  
rationale for the desire to see some kind of "CrossFPC" utility in my  
previous response.  I miss my addins in Lazarus.  Call me lazy, I  
don't care.  I'll use any tool that means I write one less line of  
code or helps me write it faster.  I'm more productive in Delphi,  
simple as that.  But I do all my regular computing in OS X, and  
working on learning how to develop in it as well, so Lazarus is of  
very keen interest to me.  Downloaded QT 4.5 last night and will  
follow the Lazarus OS X QT version much more closely now.  I'd offer  
to help, but I'm potentially the worst C++ developer in the history of  
mankind...

I agree with the second part per my email on the same topic.  Unless  
they've done way more than I expect a complex app will feel handcuffed  
quickly.
