fpc-devel is only for FPC related/included units. EpikTimer is not
included in FPC. I also believe that not everything must always be
included with FPC - that makes it harder to experiment and apply changes.

I believe that change to be a big disadvantage for EpikTimer.

Best create a small example, and raise it in the fpc-devel or fpc-users
mailing list.

If you want, please publish your git repo somewhere like on Github,
Gitorious etc. That way I (and everybody else) can look and your
changes. I don't like people sending me complete units, I also don't
prefer patch files any more. Git is a distributed version control
system, and it is much easier and quicker for everybody to simply fetch
a branch from somebody else's public Git repo, evaluate and merge
changes if needed. The full history and ownership of those changes stay
intact too.
