A development effort of lazbuild.

The LCL contains the LCL, the LCLBase and LazUtils.
You have to add the three output directories to the unit search path.
path_to_lazarus\lcl\units\i386-win32
path_to_lazarus\lcl\units\i386-win32\win32
path_to_lazarus\components\lazutils\lib\i386-win32

You can add them to your fpc.cfg. Note that doing so hides some units
with the same name of the fpc installation.

Keep in mind: If you have already compiled with wrong search paths, fpc
may have already created ppu files all over the place. So you may
have to clean up your installation, which might mean reinstalling
Lazarus.
