This is important part. I agree. Some FPC binaries are in /usr/bin. Data 
files are here, src files are there.
Bad!
We need one folder of FPC in ~/fpc33 (version suffix is optional):

fpc33
-- bin (compiler, cross-compilers, tools)
-- src
-- rtl
-- packages
-- tests
etc

So I must be able to copy this folder to new Linux system, create 
symlinks to /usr/bin and it's good.
For Lazarus usage, I don't even need symlinks! Lazarus will take the 
fpc33 dir and it's good.

Next FPC versions will have dirs fpc36, fpc40, etc.
