There's a contributed units <http://www.freepascal.org/contrib/db.php3>
link on the freepascal.org home page. Perhaps it could go there. Right
under it is a Contribute <http://www.freepascal.org/contrib/add.php3>
link that allows you to add it to the contributed units database.
I know this isn't adding it to the base RTL stuff, but it's a start for
now, no?

You're welcome to share yours.
Michael.
Hopefully somebody could find this useful or possibly it could find
its way into FPC and be the beginnings of a basic timer in FPC. Why
must everybody always reinvent the wheel. :-)
See attached file: threadtimer.pas
Usage:
-----------
FTimer := TFPTimer.Create(nil);
FTimer.OnTimer := @FTimerTimer;
FTimer.Interval := 500; // in milliseconds
FTimer.Enabled := False;
You can then call functions like:
FTimer.On;
FTimer.Off;
FTimer.Enabled := False;
