If having different file per version is really necessary (rather than only having differences among versions covered by #IFDEF within a single file), combining an #IFDEF with an #INCLUDE inside the fpc.cfg may be an option. Renaming doesn't sound nicely to me (parallel compilation using different versions, etc.).
