What about projects and packages?
What should happen when a user starts a lazarus with a new version? Should the
IDE automatically create copies?
Is the lazversion enough? Maybe some users needs two different revisions of the
same 0.9.23.
If I understand it right, you want to keep several old lazarus versions. Somehow
you distinguish them (e.g. icon). Why not simply use the command line
parameter?
