Mattias & all,

Seems I've got FPCUp
https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/fpcup
working now for bare metal installs on Windows.

I didn't write a command line tool to create/modify configs as I had
planned, but was able to incorporate that functionality within my code.

Attached FYI/for reference is the class I wrote that creates a simple
config if it doesn't yet exist and updates it if it does.

I use it like this (indentation/try..except removed for clarity):
// Set up a minimal config so we can use LazBuild
LazarusConfig:=TUpdateLazConfig.Create(LazarusPrimaryConfigPath);
LazarusConfig.CompilerFilename:=FInstalledCompiler;
LazarusConfig.LazarusDirectory:=LazarusDirectory;

{$IFDEF WINDOWS}
LazarusConfig.DebuggerFilename:=FBinutilsDir+'gdb'+FExecutableExtension;
LazarusConfig.MakeFilename:=FBinutilsDir+'make'+FExecutableExtension;
{$ENDIF WINDOWS}
{$IFDEF UNIX}
//todo: fix this for more variants?!?
azarusConfig.DebuggerFilename:='gdb'+FExecutableExtension;
LazarusConfig.MakeFilename:='make'+FExecutableExtension;

{$ENDIF UNIX}
LazarusConfig.FPCSourceDirectory:=FPCDirectory;
LazarusConfig.Free;

Hints, suggestions, criticism welcome as always,

Thanks a lot,
Reinier
