[fpc-pascal] FPC buildbot

[Travis Siegel]

Instead of ftp, you could use something like scp (assuming you have 
access to the target machine, and can generate the key pairs you need).  
That would allow you to simply copy the compiled executable onto the 
target machine, without needing any automation with passwords and the like.

Rsync can do this too, but I find scp considerably easier to use.
