I created a new patch for fpmake. It will now compile example programs as well.

I also have a question regarding an idea I have for resource files. I already have made a preliminary patch (not published yet) to use rstconv to compile .rst files into a "lang" folder. Extending the idea we could also update other existing translations with the newly created .po file. eg .po -> .nl.po and .de.po

Is this idea worthwhile including to fpmkunit?

How do we want to install compiled executables? And when? Are they part of the documentation? Where do we want to install them? On Windows I would say in a sub-dir of the documentation. But on Unices?

You can always start with a add-in. If it's general enough it can be included with fpmkunit. Note that adding an extra dependency (rstconv) is something we shouldn't do easily.
