Depends on what you consider UNIX. I understand that ParamStr[0] may get 
into the way, when a process has no chance to find out where it resides 
on disk.

I never said that Lazarus should *break* that convention.

I only want a chance for removing the *need* for the explicit 
specification of an pcp, on every Lazarus invocation. It won't break 
anything and requires only a few lines in source code, when the IDE 
searches for a config in the EXE directory, before starting the standard 
search.
