Great ! (regarding the excellent work of the Lazarus Team)

But I'll not recommend using it to anybody, as long as there is no final 
decision and implementation on the handling of (Unicode) strings in FPC.

There is a strong tendency to follow the Delphi way and make String to 
be UTF-16 encoded "by default". Supposedly Lazarus will need to follow 
at some point in time and modify all the LCL's user interface functions.

Thus at the given time porting current Delphi Projects does not make 
much sense.
