[Lazarus] Release 1.0, part 2

[Alexsander Rosa]

We must realize that a college teacher/software engineer willing to use
Lazarus at her classes/work is an ally. Sometimes she is having a hard time
convincing her superiors that it's Ok to use Lazarus because, you know,
version numbers are irrelevant. For the seasoned free software user, it
makes no difference -- but for faculty staff or employees, it does.
