Also, have you given Free Pascal Compiler a look? I have already ported the
non-visual parts of IBO to that so there is nothing stopping you from using
your IBO code base on a Linux machine.

I also have plans to support FireMonkey in the near future. Actually, there
is very little that needs to be done to remove VCL dependencies from the IBO
non-visual components.
