Should I ship the FastMM include file in my Delphi 6 application installation files?

I use FastMM4 in my Delphi 6 applications. Do I need to ship the include file (FastMM4Options.inc) with the installation files I create to install my app on a users PC? If so, should I put it in the same directory that I place the main EXE file?

I'm referring to the FastMM include file that controls the settings for FastMM at run-time. Currently this file is in a directory that is accessible via the Library Path specified in my Delphi IDE Environment options, but I never considered to include it with my installation program(s).

FastMM4Options.inc is an include file; it's source code. It doesn't affect anything at runtime; it affects how FastMM is configured at compile-time. So no, there's no need to ship it to anyone.
