The only change I have make regarding this thread, is the one I posted
before. A simple one line change. If you want me to continue with the
changes in 'startlazarus' to prompt and move the profile directory, I
can do so and post those changes here as well. Currently no changes
have been made to 'startlazarus' yet. Refactoring of LazConf could
happen after that.

What did you guys to when the profile directory was moved under
Windows?  I have not found any "automatically move/migrate the profile
directory" code anywhere. Did you just leave it up to the developer to
move his/her own profile directory?
