Creating your own set of routines and classes is very easy, but now
comes the real question: From what I understand the new Unicode FPC
will be a one way ticket to the Delphi solution, which means that
TStrings, TComponent, and all other classes will only work with the
new string type. So what will you do then? Your current solution just
like the current LCL solution will not work. There are only two
solutions:

1> Stop using the RTL and write your own
2> Migrate to the new system

Which way will fpGUI choose?
