Hm, I admit that it is even written in bold red text. Still, I missed that.
I remember that .lrs removal was rather well executed -- you have even
specifically asked me to convert TAChart.
But this issue was much more "sneaky".

Hm, so should I take the patch from the bug report as is
(it just deletes $IFDEF line), or should I add $R line instead?
I have just verified that all projects compile fine without $R --
is it really needed?

IDE is already capable of messing up developer's changes to .lpr file,
so I do not think adding one more case will make it any worse.
Of course, the optimal plan would be to add specific diagnostics
for this error, and let developer fix it himself.
