i haven't found this... last night (really very early this morning) i had to add 
some paths to my FP so that i could get it to compile a FileMask demo program 
that uses the lazarus Masks unit... since i already had it working as a lazarus 
project, i went into the project's options and used the "show options" button at 
the bottom of the screen... i copied the values shown and pasted them into my 
FP.CFG file... some slight editing to fix them up as the rest and remove 
duplicates or conflicting ones and then i started FP again... when i went 
looking at the options and directories and such, everything was in place as 
expected and my project was able to be compiled with FP just as from lazarus...

something that comes to mind, though, is where you state that you wanted to 
configure FP for FPC trunk... mine is running FPC trunk and i don't see any way 
of changing that /within/ FP... the only way i can think of is maybe by the PATH 
that is set before starting FP or maybe there's a $fpversion that can be used 
but i've not found a way for that to contain and work with "trunk"... only 
numerics like "2.6.4" or "2.7.1" seem to show up in that variable...
