So, my first pass is just going to be a straight procedural/header conversion. Like the library itself, it will be ugly, but will be as compatible and complete as possible. The second pass will be trying to wrap some of the more obvious targets in the code with classes to try to bring it into the 21st century. After that, further refinement would require bringing the whole library into FPC, which I would love to do, but that would be a job and a half.
