I dare to disagree. A SVN checkout is writeable, and this is where the
EXE is stored, along with the related source files. Consequently the
config should be stored there as well.
You seem to think of a standard Lazarus installation in some protected
directory. In this case it should do no harm when that directory does
*not* contain any config, whereupon the IDE will search other places.
