Revision history:
  2005-08-17: First release by Graeme Geldenhuys (graemeg@gmail.com)
  2007-08-24: Ported the code to the fpGUI toolkit.  [Graeme]
  2008-05-20: Updates due to fpGUI components now being 0-based. [Graeme]

Purpose:
  Abstract mediating view and Mediator Factory. This allows you to use
  standard edit components and make them object-aware.  See the demo
  application for usage.

ToDo:
  * Implement a View Manager class, so we can remove the View Lists
    created in each Form using mediating views.
  * As soon as TfpgSpinEdit has been implemented, port the SpinEdit mediator
