Description:
With this patch it is possible to register other resource-formats. There is an example package that registers an xml-resource format. By installing this package forms could be saved into an xml-format, instead of the regular .lfm format. Not that the compiler can not handle this xml-resource format, but this is only to demonstrate how this could work.
I use this mechanism to add support for reading and writing .xib files as they are regular forms inside the IDE. (xib resource files are used by XCode, Cocoa and iOS)
In principle this system could also be used to support .dfm streaming...
