I particularly like the setup dialogue's feature of displaying candidate

be extended to look at what versions of Lazarus were in "peer"

I'm not sure if I understand you right.
The Lazarus directory must fit the currently running IDE.
The compiler must fit the FPC source directory.
The compiler does not need to fit the IDE.
The compiler must fit the IDE only when recompiling the IDE and that
depends on the installed packages. They contain IFDEFs for that.
But in most cases, particularly when considering the less-experienced
user who doesn't know his way round the dialogues, the compiler version
to select will be either the one that was used to compile the IDE or the
poorly-defined "appropriate versoin" (i.e. like 2.6.0 is the appropriate
version for 1.0). I think this could be usefully presented as (at least)
a hint.
