Sorry, I was wrong.

I know. But over the last few months I've been trying to keep distinct 
binary versions: originally because I was trying to look at things like 
helpfile content and suspected that some things weren't working properly 
unless all binaries were consistent.

Since 2.7.1 this has been broken, and every time I've built a new trunk 
I've ended up copying a few dozen files from /usr/local/bin to 
/usr/local/bin/fpc.d/2.7.1... even with enforced practice it's been 
getting frustrating.

So my apologies once more for the mistaken cross-reference.
