Did not work  :/
Well, what you said ..."the FPC path" would not make sense on non
Dos-Windows-OS/2 systems... is correct so, I will forget this but...

...if the FPC path have optional, in Windows system would be a great
help, at least for me :)
I should configure FPC path different for each machines and use only
one external HD with the sources. I would update FPC source on machine
with the better Internet connection but could use it in another
machine, without change the fpc.cfg.
