You really don't expect the average newbie (to freepascal) programmer to
read the error message "Can't find unit FOO" and then expect him to *guess*
he has to use -vu ?!?!

At the least, expand the error message to "Can't find unit FOO (use -vu for
more information)" or something. Although I still think that then -vu will
give *too much* information, especially if you're using a large number of
units.
