lazarus 1.26 *WINDOWS ONLY* port attempted

[contributor]

A fork of the orwelldevcpp repository has been made by contributor (see https://sourceforge.net/p/orwelldevcpp/code/forks/), and two branches added.

Branch Source5.10porttolaz1.26 was a port using lazarus 1.26. You MAY have to use lazarus 1.26 to build, assuming you can get the necessary packages (from the source tree) installed. An attempt at some point using lazarus 1.40 failed (I don't remember if I just tried building, or if it was a 'fresh' port attempt with 1.40), I think encountering some seeming sanity check that failed, which apparently was an insane check for this project.

There are some 'local' changes (non orwell) included due to whatever I was pursuing when I attempted this port.

The project builds, and at least starts, I can edit compile and run a simple hello world project with it.

I don't know that I will be doing anything more with the project, but am putting it up in case others would benefit from the lazarus effort (something requested or pursued by tbreina approx. a decade ago for an alternate version of devcpp.)

The other branch attempted to merge in the 5.11 changes, and that too seems to run, but has not been used as much as the 5.10 branch (which wasn't used a whole lot either.)

Note that the synedit usage is a bit murky, and I really don't remember what I went through - there are potentially (actually ?) three versions of synedit involved - 1 from lazarus, and two within the source tree. At least for now, I'll leave it for someone else to fork and sort out, or if orwell wants to pull it back into main repository that's fine too.)

BTW, my execution environment for the lazarus port build had the Dev-Cpp 5.10 TDM-GCC 4.8.1 Setup.exe as its base.
