This exists in the system unit of the FPC compiler:

 LineEnding = #10;
 LFNSupport = true;
 DirectorySeparator = '/';
 DriveSeparator = ':';
 PathSeparator = ':';
 FileNameCaseSensitive : Boolean = True;

(The example is for Unix systems)

These constants are defined for all systems, and are filled with
appropriate values.
