OK. BTW, there's still one thing which came to my mind while looking at it - the list of supported compilers / platforms (aka options for 'fpc -P...'). That one is not known in the platform-specific compilers but rather in the fpc helper which is the reason why I didn't add it yet. However, I'm willing to have a look at this one too if it is considered useful (let me know - e.g. by adding a note to the bug report). > The fact still is that "fpc -h" + a parser in Lazarus requires the > least amount of maintenance in the long run. > The help output already listed the vast majority of all options.

Since nobody responded to the other bug report related to options missing in the list, I'll probably take it as well and ask others about the information I couldn't find in the sources myself.
