Better yet: check whether you can drop it.
Hum, yes we know and I agree.
To maintain msegui on the road bridge to fpc are needed.
Circular did a class-bridge for all graphic things, now you may chose to use the build-in msegui graphic class vs those of fpc/BGRABitmap (or use both).
For all file-access things, msegui uses now exclusively the fpc offer, it was too complicated to update the build-in msegui file access for each OS and till now no one of the msegui maintainers has the skill of Martin to do it.
Also all the units used in
/fpccompatibility/ that had the same name as those from fpc were renamed
mse_xxx (and all msegui code adapted for this) to avoid possible conflict.
Since this topic, for
msestrings, it will be the same, loose some independence and use the fpc offer.
Personally I am ok with this (and dont see other way to keep msegui in the race).
