Hmmm It sounds like once again Pascal needs "traits" or some other way to do
composition? I'm extremely keep to develop such feature if the team wouuld
decide on some syntax and principles (I had a thread about this some months ago
if you search).
In mean time I guess you could try include files and ifdefs in some clever way.
Not pretty but maybe it's better then keeping lots of duplicated code or doing
big refactors.
