Yes, my wording was inaccurate. I meant that people on the forum thread 
suggested a similar installer. That's why I suggested uniting the efforts.

The problem is that people don't know about the existing development, or 
similar ideas from other people. That's partly why the person (Glenn) wanted 
to create his own package manager.
I was just trying to figure out what is the most flexible way to commit code of 
potential devels. They can't get access to Lazarus trunk at once, thus another 
repo would be a good idea.
