Motivations behind this target

Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) now replace BIOS in most current PCs.

Currently, there is two main options to develop UEFI applications :

- Tianocore : http://www.tianocore.org/
- gnu-efi : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnu-efi/

Both solutions require a tedious setup process.

Thank to his internal linker, Freepascal can become the easiest option to develop UEFI applications, as no external tools would be required to start hacking.
