Honestly, full programming languages in make-like tools do not fill me with joy. And I've used ones based on lisp, perl, python, ruby, groovy and a few others. Some developers get... creative... in such environments and while I'm a fan of creativity, maybe not in this use case. Secondly, this is the documentation I can find on fpcmake: https://www.freepascal.org/tools/fpcmake.html It's essentially the man page, but everything is there. It won't win style awards, but it's got the info I need. This is the documentation I can find on fpmake: http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPMake That's two nice examples but it is not documentation. So that leaves me with the source - all 9,506 lines of it (oh yeah, that looks maintainable): https://github.com/graemeg/freepascal/blob/master/packages/fpmkunit/src/fpmkunit.pp So, back to my original question, if I make the changes I mentioned to fpcmake will there be an interest in them upstream?
