Can you provide those results? I didn't heard anything about this...

We know very little about importing or doing bindings to C routines from
Delphi. What I can say is that Vortex API was written in a way it should
be "easy" to write a binding:

 - All interactions with the API are done through functions.

 - All objects provided by the API are opaque to the caller (no direct 
   structure access).

 - In general there are no stdarg API with an alternative without 
   it.

 - Main objects (frame, channel and connections) implements object 
   reference counting, which helps a lot while building bindings.
