Sorry that I can't help with your problem but you've sparked my 
interest!  Xidel looks like a *very* interesting console project.

I've already got a number of Free Pascal mini distributions which use 
Synapse (which Xidel uses):

Maybe I should add FreeBsd releases to the educational project:

And then maybe I could add a new page with releases for Xidel?  But I 
see that Xidel needs a little more than just Free Pascal and Synapse. 
It would seem interesting to see how I can add Lazarus things but still 
have a small release to compile a console app.  Any suggestions?
