There are 115 'fpmake.pp' files in the trunk --(or more, because I 
haven't yet been able to get a full local copy of the FPC).

Even then, I have no guarantees that those files are up-to-date.

While I am prepared to do the manual work, I don't know enough about 
FPC's internals to decide what should be in those files.

Meaning, I would need a lot of hand holding along the way.

Boy, I could kill for a 'makefile' parser...

Actually, ATM, I am inclined towards generating an XML file which holds 
all the necessary info.

Any comments on that?
