When I wanted to implement an alternative DragManager, I found this 
almost impossible outside of the Controls unit, due to very many 
references to protected members of TControl and TWinControl. Do you 
honestly believe that all these members will ever be made public, only 
for the sake of another DragManager implementation?

Hint: look at the many patches I already supplied, and how many of them 
have been accepted :-(
