Hmm... Usage of Sibyl RTL is easest, but not correct way. Problem is 2 independed
RTLs. One for compiler and another for development. It's bad. But if we want release
first worked release then we can use Sibyl RTL.
But we have two problems. Syntax difference. FPC doesn't have APIENTRI, doesn't have
imports. Also problems with CSTRING type. As I know FPC doesn't support this
type. May be this is same as ANSISTRING. Some check required.
