Obviously, FPC supports many other platforms.  Is there a better way
to handle this?  
Use DirectorySeparator constant from System unit or PathDelim from 
SysUtils unit. PathDelim is also Delphi-compatible.

Also, will this work if I ever cross-compile? 
Those are just constants defined in some units. So they will always 
correspond to the target OS you are compiling to. So everything will 
work when you cross-compile.

Maybe I don't understand this question, but there's just no need to 
detect value for DirectorySeparator at run-time when this is already 
known at compile-time for all OSes.
