   this day in time, if things are done "properly" there is nothing to porting   
   other than simply compiling for the new OS... the problems arise when certain   
   items are assumed and end up hardcoded... eg: forcing '\' in paths... in FPC,   
   the RTL ntakes care of determining the proper path separator and one then only   
   need to use a known system variable to indicate the slash or backslash ;)    
   that and assuming drive letters are the two worst... there are other things,   
   too, but those are the two worst...
