Oh, yes, that's true. There's a bug in fpcmake which generates invalid
dependency-files. That leads to problems with a mixed fpmake/fpcmake
setup.

You can solve this by installing fcl-web using fppkg also (instead of
using the normal 'make install'. Make the packages/fcl-web directory the
current directory on a command prompt and do 'fppkg install'. 

Tomorrow I'll change the webdesign package. (Problem is that it depends
on fcl-web, which depends on fcl-db. So the fcl-db unit-path has to be
included. But because the dependency from fcl-web on fcl-db isn't
detected, this isn't done. I'll add a direct dependency on fcl-db to the
fcl-web package to solve this temporary)
