+This program is a simple IDL-parser that is used to generate header-include 
+files for the Gecko-SDK. 
+
+This application is able to parse the .idl files from the Gecko-SDK project.
+It could be that it can be used or extended to parse idl-files from other 
+projects, but I never tested that.
+
+The generated Pascal-sources are as close as possible to the original idl
+files. C-types are converted to their corresponding types in fpc's ctypes 
+unit.
+
+It is possible to map some types from their idl to Pascal name. You can also
+specify which types have to be converted to their ctypes-unit equivalent.
+
+All files are licensed by the modified LGPL, as used in the Lazarus LCL.
+
+I hope this is useful for someone,
