ON TOPIC:
maybe shipping with FPC cygwin runtime libraries for gprof wouldn't
harm? Because:
1. Some are shipped (for FP --- IDE)
2. If I am right, libc, libgcc, libgmon and libkernel32 are
needed, they shouldn't be weightier than some rarely used binary utils
These are pretty big when taken together.
3. Full CYGWIN is not required (as I guess, MINGW is more
appropriate [its rtl], isn't it?)
4. -pg is a compiler option, not some external feature
implying installation of something
There is no other way than to have it as a compiler option, since the
compiler must generate special code for it. Similarly, -gv implies
that you will use Valgrind, but that does not mean we're going to
ship Valgrind with the compiler.
That said, it may make sense to ship those libraries on Windows,
since most people won't have them. An optional downloadable package
would probably make more sense though.
