[Lazarus] Shared project configuration

[Xiangrong Fang]

Hi Mattias,

If I understood correctly, this method is binding the template to your IDE,
not your project.

In another word, if I create a project and add such a project.ini file in
the project, push it to github. You pull this project, and before you can
use the templetate, you must install my template "separately" (not by just
open the project.ini via lazarus), AND, after install the template you can
use the template OUTSIDE of the project context.  i.e. the template become
somewhat "standard", e.g. "Lazarus Project for Android" might be a custom
template?

What I want is not like this, but just to configure related projects to use
common units and output there executables in common directory.

Thanks,
Xiangrong
