i like that! hahehehe... in my experience with lazarus projects, it is the lpr 
file that generates the executable but that also depends on the project settings 
which may specify a different name for the executable...

for instance:
DOS: foo.exe
OS2: foop.exe
WIN: foow.exe
LNX: fool.exe or just foo or fool
