I am thinking along this line but I don't know how to go about. I usually
drag a component onto a project form for the components unit to be added to
the file I am working on. My units are source units only, not components.
What is the right way to add a non visual package to a project, no
components, visual or otherwise, just plain source code? I am yet to build a
Lazarus package.
