The IDE now supports custom components. See the files in the new
components/custom directory.
For example TCheckBook:
1. rename or copy customidecomps.pas.template to customidecomps.pas.
2. Add ',checkbook' to the uses section and
   RegisterComponent('Extra','CheckBook',TCheckBook);
   to the regististration procedure.
3. Add -dCustomIDEComps to the build options and rebuilt lazarus.

That's all.
But you should wait with TCheckBook till Tony has tested it himself. 
There are some differences between a component in normal mode and in design
mode.
