  -v<x>  Be verbose. <x> is a combination of the following letters:
      e : Show errors (default)       0 : Show nothing (except errors)
      w : Show warnings               u : Show unit info
      n : Show notes                  t : Show tried/used files
      h : Show hints                  c : Show conditionals
      i : Show general info           d : Show debug info
      l : Show linenumbers            r : Rhide/GCC compatibility mode
      s : Show time stamps            q : Show message numbers
      a : Show everything             x : Executable info (Win32 only)
      b : Write file names messages   p : Write tree.log with parse tree
          with full path              v : Write fpcdebug.txt with
                                          lots of debugging info

test.pas:
