1. yes, support for fpmake is planned
2. fpmake shipped with fpc 2.2.4 has some bugs/limitations. So the
Makefiles can not bet replaced before the next fpc release.
3. road map is: first write a fpmake for the codetools, including
support for multiple -d flags.
4. extend fpmake and/or restructure the LCL for fpmake.
5. ... we will see ...
6. use fpmake for packages
7. use fpmake for projects and IDE
