I have taken a look at this some time ago. h2pas did a reasonably good job 
at the mpi.h file, some problems with macros. A hello world style of mpi 
application went okay, however, the generated mpi.pas needs 
correctness auditing.

Problematic is the very poor job the openmpi team does at binary backwards 
compatibility, applications broke between 1.0 and 1.1, and again between 
1.1 and 1.2. With such breakage, it is next to impossible to maintain an 
mpi.pas.

Lazarus isn't a Pascal compiler, but an IDE.
