Description
Add back VTI support in the Delphi TIGCC IDE ?
VTI doesn't properly emulate 89 and 92+, and does not emulate V200 and 89T at all. It's an illegal combination of sources with different licenses. The sources have been lost. However, it is more convenient to install under Windows (no GTK+ install for VTI), and some people still like VTI.

I started working on it, using an old Delphi 7 on an old computer at home. I duplicated the radio button, entry and browse dialog in the Preferences dialog, but some more modifications are necessary before I can make a first commit.
We will have to find a more recent version of Delphi, which has code and libraries such that:
- the IDE works as well as possible on Vista;
- the IDE still works on Windows 9x/ME. Full Unicode in Delphi 2009 may be troublesome in that aspect.
Raising priority and assigning to myself.
