Well,
that is not really possible...
In other parts of the software we build there is a lot of Delphi and
Windows specific stuff, like components only available for Delphi,
access to databases via ADO and what have you...

The task before me is to use some preexisting classes from our Delphi
system in a Lazarus project that can be ported over to Linux.
We intend to include a Linux based touch panel front-end to the
instrument and when programming that I have zoomed in on Lazarus in
order to re-use existing Delphi code.
So I will use conditionals to make the class unit compatible to
Lazarus and Delphi.
