Patch in mantis 22128

When developing this, it seemed more natural to use the existing
mechanism of specifying filenames (for projects/packages) to also allow
package names, so the patch also extends support for compiling package
by name (i.e. lazbuild rx instead of lazbuild
c:\development\somewhere\rx.lpk). Hope this can find favour ;)
