[fpc-pascal] FPC buildbot

[Darius Blaszyk]

Hi Travis & Joost,

Thanks for all your suggestions! I created a simple buildbot for FPC
projects and used sfpt as the tool to upload to an FTP server. It is
surprisingly stable. The buildbot is an instantFPC script that can be run
in an endless loop to regularly check for new commits or can be triggered
from a cron job. On finding a new commit, it pulls all changes, builds the
project (lazbuild), creates a binary archive and uploads it to FTP. Build,
pack and upload are bash scripts now, but I will refine the tool on
accepting a configuration file to make it more versatile and uniform across
platforms. I'm happy to finally have a buildbot tool with "zero"
configuration that provides me daily snapshots over different platforms.

Rgds, Darius
