[Lazarus] Compiling LCL units via commandline

[luciano de souza]

I don't mater with less elegant solutions. The most important is to
provide a tool.
yes, I need to read the lpi file. Now I need to understand better how
the neeeded structure. lpi files could be complex, but if only a few
sections of it is necessary, perhaps, it will be simpler than I can
imagine now.
Perhaps, I can execute lazbuild in a TProcess and filter the output to
eliminate some unneeded information.
But if someone has an idea how to compile it only with fpc, yes, it
would be better.
Thank you!
