I can add my own flavor as well. :D

I have fpc installed in /mnt/data/applications/$FPCVERSION with the usual
dir structure underneath. In ~/.bin I have symlinks for fpc, fpcres,
fpcmake and various ppcXXX. The directory is also in PATH. In ~/.config/fpc
I have various fpc.$FPCVERSION.cfg and ~/.fpc.cfg is a symlink as well. All
these symlinks are updated with a switch-fpc script that gets the version
to symlink to as argument.

Regards,
Sven
