The fpc.cfg created by the installer is correct. The one created by default
by fpcmkcfg is not (for Windows), as the relative-but-not-really paths like
that have no meaning on Windows.

To be properly cross-platform, it should really generate something like
"-Fu..\..\units\$fpctarget" and such, if the assumption is that it's being
invoked from the "bin\$fpctarget" directory.
