These are obviously all valid. There's also another possibility though
(having advantages and disadvantages compared to this) - you could have an
include file specifying this define and reference this include file from
all (relevant) source files. The advantage is that this works
independently from the chosen compilation method (fpc from command line,
makefile, all IDEs, etc.). The disadvantage is obviously that if you need
to make sure that you don't forget the include file reference in any of
your (relevant) files.
