[Lazarus] Fitting a form around a grid

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

It's obviously easy enough to fit a grid into the client space of a form 
or panel, but how does one do the reverse?

The exact size of a grid (i.e. such that the outermost grid lines are 
either displayed or not displayed predictably) depends on the widget 
set, and possibly on other details such as fount metrics, screen DPI and 
so on. At present I find myself applying "fudge factors" when shrinking 
a form to be an exact fit around a grid of a predetermined number of 
rows and columns, and that's still not entirely reliable when moving 
between systems.

Is there a "correct" way of doing this?
