how would you port that to another platform (e.g. Linux in the Kylix

Also, I'm not so sure whether Delphi is the right language for a

better done in C or C++, and IMO this applies to kernel drivers and
compilers.

DCC is built with C++Builder. Isn't that enough? :)
Also, the IDE is built with Delphi.
