All fine and good,
But I couldn't even find out how to install it.

Nothing on the webpage. There is an INSTALL.TXT, it says change into 
src, and run build.bat (for windows)

I did that 9yes fpc (2.5.1) in path.

I get some output that it compiles something, but no exe is created.

so how to I get some fpgui.exe?
