Since trunk works with fpmake (and not with fpcmake), there is no reason to
invest in fpcmake. fpmake already implements this, though currently it only
works for packages/

But the slowliness is not just these tools. Just compiling an unit (that
uses a bunch of other units) in one compiler run is the said magnitudes
slower. Without make (and thus no tools)
