I think that the major problem will be trying to create a
cross-platform makefile for fpc apps. I for one can create simple
makefiles, but I have no idea how to add if clauses in makefiles to
select the correct options for each platform.

Plus, while most options are optional, -WG is pretty much mandatory in
Windows GUI apps, so you can't just live without it.
