Ah, that's why the FPC compiler is so buggy ;-)

Tools to analyze unit references exist already :-)

I've already created such a fork: SourceForge.FpcExt :-)

Unfortunately the new SF interface seems to be broken a bit, so that I 
cannot delete the old (usesless) repository, and cannot show the two 
repositories for the compiler and documentation :-(

It also is hard to keep that compiler in sync with the trunk, when so 
many parts are moved into other units.

Currently I try to fix the most annoying bugs and flaws in the Lazarus 
IDE, so that I can use it as I like it. And in the documentation and 
help tools, that is in desastrous state :-(
Having done that, I may resume my work on FPC...
