Mattias, thanks, I'm thinking about creating a unit that would introduce
"proxy" objects between vcl/lcl hierarchy and mine. They should handle such
minor differences using conditional defines.
btw, returning to surprises, when I tried to compile something new with the
same compiler, or something old with a new compiler, it was usual when I
didn't expect the compiler to stop, but it did. With Lazarus it was several
times different, when I expected it to stop compiling with an error, it did
not :) Great Job!

It's interesting, thought about ntfs that don't like case-sensitivity by
default, found Windows Services For Unix (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX). The article
mentioned that one can enable case-sensitivity during the install. I suppose
it's not a sane action to do this (since many programs on windows expects
that the file systems are not case-sensitive), but just wondering whether it
could create linux-like experience for the developer inside the windows-side
lazarus or win lazarus is developed without this special configuration in
mind?
