I also use this approach, but the problem is you still have to reinstall 
them in the new lazarus starting with a fresh configuration[*], 
otherwise, for components bundled with lazarus, the configuration files 
will point to components in the old lazarus directory.


[*] I actually do a quick search & replace with perl to change the old 
path to the new one.
