i wanted to follow up on this...

i decided that the best way was for me to completely uninstall the last public 
release i had on my machine and then install this new release clean... since i 
keep my projects in a dedicated directory tree, they were not effected by this...

well, yes and no... i didn't loose anything but now, the first time i open a 
project created or maintained by the previous version, there's a popup about one 
or two items... i don't remember them specifically but one popup was that the 
fpc 2.2.2 source didn't exist... obviously something is missing being converted 
from the older fpc 2.2.2 stuff to the new fpc 2.2.4 stuff... i easily edit the 
path to point to 2.2.4 and things appear to work as normal...

i cannot remember at all what the other popup was but it was something similar 
where the directory that used to point to fpc 2.2.2 needed to be changed to 
point to 2.2.4...

> congrats for the fine work and this release!

i went back and messed with one of the delphi projects i have been playing with 
trying to convert to laz and was quite surprised when the form actually appeared 
with its components and the app actually ran when i did a F9 Run on it... sadly, 
though, another one from the same overall codebase in the same directory gives 
me an empty form when it is run even though the form editor does show a valid 
form with items in it...
