- Having to ship an external binary (or on *nix lay a dependancy).
- Expansion (more syntax/commands) mostly via external programs. An own product can
  simply integrate required functionality.
- Still needs an external tool (fpcmake) to generate the makefile, since the basic
  makefile syntax is not abstract enough.
- Only old or bad quality builds available on non *nix. (Windows is ok
   though nowadays)
- Integrating support for future expansions (like more complex library
  support) would complicate the current generator (and resulting files) even
  futher.
- GNU.
