If you or anyone else has the chance to test it on OSes other than Win32 the file with source can be downloaded from - http://jedi-sdl.pascalgamedevelopmen...SDLPoxDemo.zip.
The code is extremely untidy and hacked together, but it serves as a proof of concept for now. I've included a Win32 exe for those who just want to have a look at it.

I'll try it out tomorrow; I spent today reinstalling and configuring a new version of my Linux distribution, and it takes a while to get it just how I want it.

I tested it. It reached this point:
I don't think you can use the Windows unit in Linux. I notice also that you use the unit Graphics, which I don't think even exists in FPC.Code:Compiling PNGImage.pas Fatal: Can't find unit Windows

Ah Damn, I'll see if I can trim it down so that it is not so dependent on Windows and Graphics.
Hi Cragwolf, I've just uploaded a new version of that demo with loads of non-relevant stuff IFDEFed out. This works under Windows so I'm hoping this will be enough for it work under Linux.
Thanks.
It works, but you need to make the following simple changes. In PNGImage.pas, the procedures ReadData, WriteData, FlushData, and IOCallback, should have cdecl calling conventions instead of stdcall calling conventions. So I guess all you need is the appropriate ifdef's for that. After you do that, it seems to work: I see a man and a dog, animated, and you can cast a spell on the dog, revive the dog, and remove hair, pants, and breastplate (?) from the man.
There are some warnings as well, here they are:

Hey this is great! There are bound to be warnings, as I said this is probably the worst code I have cobbled together. It literally was a case of hacking everything together to just get something up and running. So for that I am happy. The removing stuff is just to test the SoAoS layering system to make sure it all works and is part of the looting part of the original game.

Could you post a screen shot of the animation running as I'd like to add it to the SoAoS website as progress on the project. I will also clean up the demo code before making it public.
Thanks again for taking the time to test it all out.
Here is a screenshot of my desktop with SDLPoxDemo running:
