So for historical reasons, FPC is stuck with the 'in' clause, when in fact it should

It could be made useful when

- can bed used relative with "current" = the file it is read from
- there is an OS independent syntax (does using / and \ both as separators make sense ? )
- the (Lazarus-.usual) Variables to things like project path are usable
- ... ???

The cure is far worse than the problem, because it is still trying to combine 2 systems that are basically incompatible.

Bottom line is: don't use 'in' for the uses clause; use the command-line
option to specify the location of the sources.
