clever usage of Visual Form Inheritance.

How does Lazarus IDE (or LCL) handle this? Can you develop for multiple
targets with a single source code base? Or is this beyond the scope of
LCL (eg: LCL is only meant for desktop apps)?
While (AFAIK, not having watched, yet) in Delphi XE this is only
possible with FireMonkey, and hence porting existing Desktop
VCL-applications to other platforms is close to impossible, with Lazarus
compiling for all supported platforms should be possible using the the
LCL that is rather similar to the Delphi VCL.
So - disregarding technical details - Lazarus should be better regarding
portability.
