(* Description of individual conditional defines supported for FExpand
   (disregard the used directory separators in examples, constant
   System.DirectorySeparator is used in the real implemenation, of course):

   FPC_FEXPAND_UNC - UNC ("Universal Naming Convention") paths are
   supported (usually used for networking, used in DOS (with
   networking support installed), OS/2, Win32 and at least some
   Netware versions as far as I remember. An example of such a path
   is '\\servername\sharename\some\path'.

   FPC_FEXPAND_DRIVES - drive letters are supported (DOS-like
   environments - DOS, OS/2, Win32). Example is 'C:\TEST'.

   FPC_FEXPAND_GETENV_PCHAR - an implementation of GetEnv returning
   PChar instead of a shortstring is available (Unix) to support
   long values of environment variables.

   FPC_FEXPAND_TILDE - expansion of '~/' to GetEnv('HOME') - Unix.
   Example: '~/some/path'.

   FPC_FEXPAND_VOLUMES - volumes are supported (similar to drives,
   but the name can be longer; used under Netware, Amiga and
   probably MacOS as far as I understand it correctly). Example:
   'VolumeName:Some:Path' or 'ServerName/Volume:Some\Path'
   (Netware).

   FPC_FEXPAND_NO_DEFAULT_PATHS - Dos keeps information about the
   current directory for every drive. If some platform supports
   drives or volumes, but keeps no track of current directories for
   them (i.e. there's no support for "GetDir(DriveNumber, Dir)" or
   "GetDir(Volume, Dir)", but only for "GetDir (0, Dir)" (i.e. the
   overall current directory), you should define this. Otherwise
   constructs like 'C:Some\Path' refer a path relative to the
   current directory on the C: drive.

   FPC_FEXPAND_DRIVESEP_IS_ROOT - this means that DriveSeparator
   should be used as beginning of the "real" path for a particular
   drive or volume instead of the DirectorySeparator. This would be
   used in case that there is only one character (DriveSeparator)
   delimitting the drive letter or volume name from the remaining
   path _and_ the DriveSeparator marks the root of an absolute path
   in that case. Example - 'Volume:This/Is/Absolute/Path'.

   FPC_FEXPAND_NO_CURDIR - there is no support to refer to current
   directory explicitely (like '.' used under both Unix and DOS-like
   environments).

   FPC_FEXPAND_NO_DOTS_UPDIR - '..' cannot be used to refer to the
   upper directory.

   FPC_FEXPAND_DIRSEP_IS_UPDIR - DirectorySeparator at the beginning of
   a path (or doubled DirectorySeparator inside the path) refer to the
   parent directory, one more DirectorySeparator to parent directory of
   parent directory and so on (Amiga). Please, note that you can decide
   to support both '..' and DirectorySeparator as references to the parent
   directory at the same time for compatibility reasons - however this
   support makes it impossible to use anotherwise possibly valid name
   of '..'.

   FPC_FEXPAND_DIRSEP_IS_CURDIR - DirectorySeparator at the beginning of
   a path refers to the current directory (i.e. path beginning with
   DirectorySeparator is always a relative path). Two DirectorySeparator
   characters refer to the parent directory, three refer to parent
   directory of the parent directory and so on (MacOS).

   FPC_FEXPAND_MULTIPLE_UPDIR - grouping of more characters specifying
   upper directory references higher directory levels. Example: '...'
   (Netware).

   FPC_FEXPAND_SYSUTILS allows to reuse the same implementation for
   SysUtils.ExpandFileName by avoiding things specific for unit Dos.
