Normally, to recompile a project under win32 or linux, all I have to do 
is change in the project options the LCL widget type (in the paths page) 
and the target OS (in the code generation page). Paths are taken care of 
by using IFDEF linux and IFDEF win32 in fpc.cfg.

I am sure build modes can be defined for the above, but since the build 
modes have to be defined over and over for each new project, I was 
wondering if there was a way to have them as standard, perhaps for new 
projects (the same way as a user can set default compiler options for 
all new projects)?
