To the Lazarus developpers;

I've been thinking about how to detect this problem with lazarus, for the
future (since it is one of those few gotcha's that can leave a FPC/Lazarus
developpers totally flabbergasted)

I assume Lazarus already parses FPC compiler output? If so, can it also
handle -va mode?

If so, we could have an option(button) in the path menu to do a testcompile
run.

- generate a file that only links to the rtl to /tmp/test.pp
- compile and parse it, checking for inc files with asterisks, and "recompiling"
	msgs.

same for addition of fcl, gtk, lcl units etc.

Something like this could make it easier to diagnose unitpath and linkerpath
errors.
