[fpc-devel] Managing multiple versions

That works, so with minimal symlinks I've got

/usr/local/bin/fpc/x.y.z
/usr/local/lib/fpc/x.y.z
/usr/local/src/fpc/x.y.z

I don't see any reference to installation options in the Programmer's 
Guide, or in the build FAQ at www.stack.nl (is this the most recent?).
