Add {$mode delphi} at the top of your units and programs, and you should
be able to use pretty much all constructs Delphi 7 sup****ts. Another
(and probably easier) possibility is to add -Mdelphi to the command line
options.

There is an interface unit to sqlite (called "sqlite" :). I do not think
it is do***ented however. The source is available at
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_0/packages/base/sqlite

Yes, Cocoa integration will require Objective Pascal sup****t (which
Metrowerks defined, see http://pascal-central.com/cwpascal.html),
but
that's not trivial to add.

In XCode, get info on the target, go to "build rules" and change the
-Mmacpas to -Mdelphi (twice, once for development and once for
deployment style). You may also want to remove -Co (overflow checking),
because there are few nasty bugs with that in 2.0.0 for PowerPC.
