Certainly I could use other (smaller) packages, what also would speed up 
debugging, but this would not eliminate any problem that Windows users 
have with creating local documentation right now.

BTW, "make fcl.chk" works here :-)

But what about the many unknown targets? Do they result from the 
inability to create (or use?) the RTL content file?

I also cannot create LCL documentation, it fails with an unhandled 
exception. The reason may be the same as for the RTL documentation, I 
did not yet test it right now.
