One other topic: Why there are *.pp files? The handling is always very
nonpractical and boring. Should we rename them to *.pas?

Does this mean the folowing is not true anymore?
// FPC searches first lowercase, then keeping case, then uppercase
FYI: This is a comment for the lazarus/main.pp.
Below is the mail i wrote for updating the fpc docs:
I've updated the search order of files. It is now:
For case sensitive systems (and windows):
NormalCase
lowercase
UPPERCASE
For non-case sensitive systems
lowercase
What does this mean. When you have a 'uses Hello' the compiler will first
look for a Hello.pp/.pas file. When the file HEllo.pas exists it will not
be found. So for the mixed case the uses line will be case-sensitive.
This
is Kylix compatible.
