Using an idea I saw somewhere else, I've done this:

hcv at technical09:~/source/fpc_script$ ls -l
total 4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 hcv hcv 148 Mar 24 16:38 fpc_script.pp

hcv at technical09:~/source/fpc_script$ cat fpc_script.pp
// 2>/dev/null; fpc fpc_script.pp &> /dev/null && exec ./fpc_script "$@"; exit
program fpc_script;
begin
	writeln('hi there, from a script!');
end.

hcv at technical09:~/source/fpc_script$ ./fpc_script.pp
hi there, from a script!

It would be nice to have #!fpc --run
