Can I install (and use) a Delphi (VCL or CLX) component in Lazarus?

Well... It's a bit complicated. Some of them should work properly, but
other not. Because of those reasons:
- Lazarus isn't comleated yet, so some features could not work.
- There are some differences betwen Delphi Object Pascal and
FreePascal languages, so some other features woldn't work properly (or
at all).
Hovewer, many components are easy to convert to Lazarus. A lot of
people works on porting some popular components to Lazarus.

Hmm... It's not so easy... I know, that, except those in Lazarus
components list, Indy is being ported, Synapse works (I'm using it
alredy)... I'm not using many visual components, so I'm not sure about
others. I've heard about Jedi ported to Lazarus, but I'm not sure.
Surely there are more, but I don't know about them.

It may be possible to use delphi components in Lazarus, but only if
the source of is available.
(Compare it with installing D5 components on D7, in binary form this
isn't possible)
