I didn't mean rewrite, just do some modifications to be able to compile it
with FPC.
But it looks like that your way is "more ready" than mine, so let it be.:)

I afraid (based on my previous tries) that porting sysutils and classes
will be / is the main problem of OpenSibyl. Btw, to compile SVDE, you will
need SPCC, so you cannot compile it with fpc until SPCC is ported.
So, are you at 2) now? Which units are ported yet, and which ones remain?
