It would be nice if there was an option "best and slowest build" in
the menu project.

If i click on this menu item all compiler options which create a
enduser friendly (small but also fast) file. If nessesary may be for
windows user strip.exe is called to reduce the exe file.

This would be a great feature.

nicer would be if you could define your own set of build options and
name them.
On a build you can choose
  build -> "my release settings"
or
  build -> "with a load of debug info"

etc

Even a simple option to build the debug version or the release version
would be nice.

this may require setting up two types of units in fpc, ones for
release (smart) and ones for debug(static) - e.g. a lot of
duplication. i think the fpc config can have different unit paths for
release/debug.

I would like to see a build option to compile and not link (to help
isolate syntax errors). The Quick Syntax check is inadequate.

It would also be useful if the run option was aware of a recent make
and did not relink the app if the sources or object files had not
changed like Delphi does.

Project Options -> Miscellaneous -> Uncheck "Always build even if
nothing changed."

Did that. It still links.
