These are the file name suffixes used by GPC and GP. If the name was different, we could use that name as the suffix for configuration files. (I don't like `.cfg' as you suggested. First, it's very generic; second, using program specific config files, if `foo.pas' is a program, then `foo.cfg' might be used by the programmer for a program config file, so we shouldn't use that name as the program build config file. I.e., if the tool is called GP, I'd have used `foo.gp' as the config file name. But `foo.gpi' and `foo.gpd' are already used. Of course, we could think about renaming one of them as well -- preferably gpd because it isn't so widespread yet.)
Well, Borland has .tpu and .dcu for Turbo and Delphi units respectively. Perhaps we could use .gpu for GPC units.
I have no particular preference of extension for program build configuration files.
or "cgp"?
Hmm, doesn't seem to be taken, at least in Debian ...
Perhaps we could use this then?
