I put a TCalendar with no autosizing/aligning and a TEdit with 
Align=AlBottom on the main form.
xxx.Constraints.Min/MaxInterfaceWidth for both components are 0/0 on 
WinCE and 1/0 on Linux (I used a button to trigger the output of the 
values).

Note that setting the calendar's autosize to true will cause the WMSize 
loop on program startup. This is not the case for the TEdit (setting 
Align to AlBottom works fine).
