fpcmake does not support creation of directories. All the temp and output
directories must already exists.

Generic support for documentation files is too complex, there are too many
source and destination formats. Maybe only fpdoc support will be added in
the future.

That is not the way fpcmake is made. Ofcourse you can build your own
Makefiles to support it.

Add the required Makefile code for it in the [rules] section. See 'info
make' for all possible Makefile functions and rules.
