Thanks for showing interest in this. I know near zero about Makefiles
and Makefile.fpc. I'm still a bit confused with FPC though. Does FPC now
use fpmake everywhere? If yes, then why are there still so many
Makefiles in FPC Trunk? Quite possibly I just don't understand the use
of fpmake I guess.

The idea seems quite simple though. Do a `$compiler -iV` where $compiler
is the starting compiler use to compile the FPC source code. If that
version doesn't match a known "latest stable compiler version" constant,
then report an error and terminate.
