He lives!!!!!   ^_^

Okay, now that we have your attention:

1). Why is "--executable-file-name" such a long option to type?
Wouldn't "--exe" be more convenient?
2). DJGPP has a habit of making both "blah" and "blah.exe" when you
type "gpc blah.pas -o blah". This also affects your GP program. It's
really only useful with *nix makefiles (so the target and file will be
recognized), but it's pretty useless and annoying otherwise. Anyways,
I suggest "--executable-file-name" should not create those duplicate
extensionless files by default (since GPC doesn't really need
makefiles, does it? I know --automake is old, GP is "the future", but
still ...).
3). Okay, actually, "--executable-file-name" is really useful only in
makefiles themselves (or .BAT scripts or similar). Still, it feels
wrong to waste space with spurious files, and using "-o blah.exe"
instead has to be hardcoded for each target, ugh.

Not a huge deal, just something I wanted to mention (in case anybody cared).
