I am not assigned to any particular FPC case at my workplace, this is
a project on my free time. But we do work with Delphi a lot at my work
and to go platform-independent is very much in line with my day work,
so I try to collect as much info as I can also during the days.
The particular case of this thread, the use of TListView, is a special
case because we use listviews a *lot* and we have "enhanced" TlistView
by making our own inherited component, which publishes a few often
used properties and methods. Unfortunately this inherited component
does not work in Lazarus because of the incomplete translation of
TListView from Delphi to FPC/Lazarus...

Concerning SVN, we do not use this at all (still on CVSNT), so opening
SVN ports is probably not going to happen...
I had hoped SVN could work on port 80 since it uses http style
locators, but apparently it does not work that way.
