*nix is very hostile to non-c languages. i dropped FreePascal due to
lack of headers for libraries. automatic converters still can't do the
good things, and converting/fixing headers manually is *very* tedious.

this was a hard move, as i had to drop all my fpc libraries and start
writing new ones for C.
