Nothing (I hope). That's the point.

fluidsynth comes with a library and command line utility, so that you
can use it as a standalone tool. It supports writing to soundfiles,
many audio backends from many platforms and other stuff (check
CMakeLists.txt for a full list). From what I understand, the
[fluidsynth~] external doesn't make use of this stuff, so there is no
point in bloating the library and the number of dependencies
unnecessarily. 

I know you're still working on it, but for testing (especially the
build part) I made builds for three Linux archs:
