FPC is not Java. In FPC you have more fine-grained control over the
resulting binary than "install big, fat runtime". Not to mention that
FPC can target resource constrained systems as well.

Optional is good.

Maybe the defaults can be changed. For example the macOS dmg and
Linux-x86-64 debs/rpms could install an fpc.cfg containing

#ifndef FPNonUnicode
-Facwstring
-Fcutf-8
#endif

For minimal programs pass -dFPNonUnicode

Our mails crossed.

That corresponds to what I proposed, with minor differences. The additional #ifndef FPNonUnicode is also a good idea.
