You might rather consider to pack'em up in a couple "standard" packet
formats. like .rpm or .deb, where with the latter Ivanko possibly could help
you, if he's not still an active maintainer of such a package. It shouldn't
be too difficult to set up such a package, as there shouldn't be much more
in terms of dependencies as fpc, and that's probabely not available through
the distribution anyway (although a few have adopted it, in fact).

That way, you already covered the majority of distributions.
For "the rest of them", you could simply set up a .tar.gz, .tar.bz2,
.tar.xz ... package with a script file and COPYRIGHT, README, CHANGES,
CREDITS... files (most of which are already in place or could be renamed
apropriately), and, last not least, a description how to (build and)
INSTALL the thing.
If you'd want to get fancy, you might even attempt to add a Makefile,
executing the statement already given sometimes for calling the fpc
compiler to build mseide and install it to a convenient bin directory
(preferably /usr/local/bin).
The Makefile needs not contain much more than the one attached, although
you could get even fancier here.
