OK. The hard one is the code that calculates the C types. Actually it isn't
hard, I just don't know how to get the config out.

We already have ~/.feilx/config ! I mean fbuild already copies it if it
exists. We already have code to make the fpc for SDL and some others.
it isn't right mind you, because it just guesses where the libraries
are without looking :)

One idea is to put an
installed: true
field in the fpc files. Then flx_pkgconfig can do it already.
Actually you might have the lib but not the includes.. so really
the presence of the appropriate fields should already tell you.
More to the point: shouldn't we have three copies of the config?
config/target config/host config/build
or something? Actually...
config/gcc_win32_xcompile
would be useful, it invokes gcc on Linux to make binaries for Windows.
You'd select by
flx --target=gcc_win32_xcompile ....
By default, --target=host. The config/build is for documentation.
It's the config used by fbuild when building.
Hmm .. you're right, lets just get it to work at all first :)
