[fpc-devel] setup for testing changes between 2.0.2, 2.0.x and 2.1.1

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Thanks to everybody that helped.  I managed to setup 3 versions of FPC
in my home directory and changed the fpc.cfg file to use the
$fpcversion instead of a hardcoded version.  All works perfectly.

All these tips should be place in a FAQ or WIKI somewhere if it hasn't already!

Regards,
