A additional comment on the usage of FastMove.pas

If the main application ( *.exe ) using Fastmove.pas loads a *.dll which also uses
FastMove.pas all is fine except when both the *.exe and the *.dll are built with
"packages" enabled. In this case the second instance of FastMove.pas which gets loaded
from the *.dll takes over the RTL pointers to the remapped first instance in the *.exe and
everything gets very unstable when the dll gets unloaded or the *.exe is shutdown.

Something should be done to the Fastmove.pas unit initialization code to try and recognise
that another instance of FastMove.pas has already remapped itself into the RTL and not
doing anything if found.
