In effect, what's been done with GTK (v1). With the proviso that in both 
cases there should be prominent warning of the preferred FPC version 
that goes with Lazarus+LCL for that target: I put something together a

sets as possible and had to do quite a lot of fiddling before I settled 
on 0.9.24.1+2.2.4.
