There will have full compatibility with old code. It quite likely FPC will have a Win32 platform where string=ansistring and a WinNT platform where string=unicodestring. Other platforms will be decided on a case by case basis, i.e. there is little point in having string=unicodestring on Dos.
Right you are, but IMHO, there should not be an explicit or implicit dependency on platforms in the compile process, but it the user should be allowed to define a set of options as he likes. Of course for any target platform (that might be different from the build platform) certain option setting will produce faster or smaller platform code than others.
