doesn't the above do the "IFDEF" thing that you said you didn't want

That is correct, let the library do the IFDEF, so you don't have to do it.
:) but i thought the idea was for IFDEF to not be used at all... maybe i misread
or simply misunderstood...
one must also remember that .exe is not the only executable extension
on windows, OS/2 and DOS platforms... there is also .com... i must
also ask, are not shell scripts "executable" or are we looking solely
at binary executables?
That depends on the purpose. FPC cannot create .com files, so for
example the file name of a fpc executable is
ExtractFileNameWithoutExt('projectfilename.lpi')+GetExeExt;
sure, fpc cannot create .com files but i still can and do for small quick items
;) the point being that .exe is not the only executables on these platforms...
seems to me that a more generic GetFileExt type function would be
better... one that might also check the linux file permissions to
determine if the file is executable or not... i have numerous *nix
executable files with and without extensions on them... checking the
perms is the only way to know if they can will start straight up or if
they must be given a kickstart (ie: sh foo.sh or php foo.php or even
perl foo.pl) ;)
And that is why there is
http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/lcl/fileutil/fileisexecutable.html
hummm... and that works on all platforms? not just *nix? i wonder if it, too,
looks at the file's extension on non-*nix platforms? ;)
