[Lazarus] Multiple installations

[Matt Shaffer]

I've always installed Lazarus in the root of the drive, but my projects
definitely have spaces in the paths... I have some in C:\user\matt\my
docs\some awesome project name\ for example, and it compiles fine. Believe
that compiled fine even at 9.22/24 too.
