I know that the "in <filespec>" is part of the Delphi syntax, but
what is it really good for?

AFAIK it's not allowed to "rename" units this way, and since
(currently) only absolute filenames are implemented,

That is incorrect. Relative file names do work. They are resolved
relative to the current working directory of the compiler.

Clarification:

When I start compiler\prep.lpi from Lazarus, the current directory is set to compiler\i386\, that's why compiler\prep.pas is not found.

After several tries and discussions I found that this is just the directory of the *executable*, not of the project. This is documented behaviour, but one must understand the difference between the Lazarus IDE working directory (project) and the runtime working directory (executable).

Sorry for the confusion :-(
