They *did* start from scratch, because there was *no* code to achieve
what Lazarus has done: implement a clone of the VCL in a platform
independant way.

I know it sounds harsh, but: patches are accepted. In Open Source one
mostly investigates in problems that oneself is interested in. Afterall
most developers are working on such projects in their free time. So if
you want something implemented then either implement it yourself or find
someone else to implement it for you (e.g. by putting up a bounty or by
finding some kind soul that would implement it).
