The basic issue is that the functionality ppudump happens to depend on

When I look at its description [
http://www.freepascal.org/tools/ppudump.var ] ("ppudump writes the
contents of a Free Pascal unit file to standard output. It gives a
listing of all definitions in the unit file. The format of the listing
can be controlled by the options.") it's not clear to me why ppudump
must be a strictly independent stand-alone executable.
Could you elaborate why you think it should be.
Cheers,
