Looks reasonable to me, except that I'd point out that Lazarus puts up 
an initial form which presents its "best guess" of where it's installed, 
which FPC compiler binary is to be used and so on.

I fully agree that the user /should/ have the option of overriding 
settings. However if we're really going to be punctilious I'd suggest 
that he should also be told that a configuration file is about to be 
created, where it's being told, and how to override that choice if 
appropriate.
