You can easily instantiate AsyncPro in user code in Delphi, too (I'm 
doing this all the time), so that I don't need to  "install" complex 
packages with Delphi).

You can do your own "Async" unit (maybe even with an interface very 
similar to AsyncPro, so that you don't need to do many changes in your 
existing code <other than manually instantiating the object). In this 
unit you can use ifdefs or do two versions of same.  (please do provide 
this unit as open source :) )
