I don't really want to share them, I just want to build lazarus with my 
selection of components, regardless of the lazarus version I'm using.
Suppose I use svn and 0.9.26, suppose also that, as you suggest, I use 
--pcp to keep the configuration different.
Now, suppose that while I'm using the svn version, I install a component 
bundled with lazarus, say, rx.
What I want is, when I rebuild 0.9.26, it also has rx installed, but 
obviously compiling it from the 0.9.26 source directory, and without 
having to manually install it in the ide.
Most important, when I update to 0.9.28 I also want to rebuild it and 
have rx included.
Of course, it wouldn't be an issue if you only have a couple of 
components installed, but it is when you have 10 or 20.
As of now, the only way to do it is to copy the configuration files from 
one version to the other and manually edit the paths of the components 
that are under the lazarus source directory.
