[Lazarus] fpreport designer

[Andreas Frieß]

Acknowledge of the two Bugs

-> Bug1: The page properties are not displayed in the designer's object 
inspector
-> Bug2: The designer freezes and cannot be closed anymore

i can reproduce this with actual trunk fpc/ trunk Lazarus.

Another goal is, if you install lazideintfreport, the lazarus won't 
start without a message, if you switch logging on, you find the reason: 
freetype-56.dll is missing. The problem is, you have NO indication, no 
messagebos, nothing, why Lazarus wont start and exit immedatly.
