Automatic conversion won't work, I fear, due to substancial differences 
of the object models in CLR and FCL/LCL (garbage collection...), not to 
mention the very different LCL itself.

A conversion to Delphi.Prism looks feasable to me, because it only 
requires syntactical changes to the source code. But FPC/Lazarus do not 
support a .NET target.
