The motivation was exactly the point that Delphi versions where 
String=UnicodeString define "Unicode" while former versions do not, so 
the definition of the UNICODE switch was linked to modeswitch 
unicodestrings (and thus to mode delphiunicode). This was also the 
reason why WinCE compilation got broken (it defines UNICODE by default 
which got undefined after mode ObjFPC was encountered) and I added the 
FPC_OS_UNICODE define.
