In this particular case (of porting Delphi 7 code straight to FPC 3.0.0) is
a matter of backward compatibility.

I could agree that there are very little options left:
* Delphi (whatever version supports 64bit) - changes in code are needed
* FPC 3.0.0 - {$define String:=RawByteString} must be added to every unit
(or a single .inc file if used)
* FPC 2.6.4 - no changes needed (?)
So it might be indeed a thing not worth the trouble.

Dmitry
