[cyberpython]

What does this have to do with missing dialog fixed in r13691?

I think both should be there. The xml files in the lazarus directory are 
the default files, the files in AppData are the user settings.

I think every user can install his own sets of packages. When installing 
Lazarus with an installer, it comes with a default set that is equal for 
all users, initially.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have Vista and am running under an 
account with administrator privileges on windows XP, so I really welcome 
all input.
