During the Embarcadero CodeRage sessions this week I took a look at the 
IOUtils unit introduced in Delphi 2010. I expect developers to start 
using it as they tart to use Delphi 2010 more and more. It would be a 
big advantage to have an FPC version of this unit.

I have no idea how other Delphi-compatible functionality was developed 
but I expect the right thing to do is obtain the interface for this unit 
and have the students re-implement the functionality using FPC.
