{
A generic timer component. Can be used in GUI and non-GUI apps.
Based heavily on an idea by Graeme Geldenhuys, extended so
the tick mechanism is pluggable.
Note that the system implementation will only work for timers
in the main thread, as it uses synchronize to do the job.
You need to enable threads in your application for the system
implementation to work.
A nice improvement would be an implementation that works
in all threads, such as the threadedtimer of IBX for linux.
Replaced SLEEP with TEvent for those platforms supporting threading:
Windows, Linux, BSD.
On the other platforms, use sleep. This unfortunately has a high overhead
resulting in drift. A five minute timer could be up to 40 seconds late
do to entering and returning (linux x64). MOdified to check the absolute
time every minute, has reduced that lag to about 0.100 second. This is
still greater than TEvent, where the delay is only a few milliseconds (0-3).

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
{
Windows, or any platform that uses Cthreads has TEvent with a timed wait
which can include android and embedded.
You can force the use of the Sleep() based timer by defining USESLEEP
