it is my update script... i update from FPC and LAZ trunk fairly regularly... i 
rarely (re)build LAZ from within LAZ... i'm not even sure i know how other than 
adding or removing packages... i've not tried anything more than that because 
i'm still (very slowly) trying to get a grip on the changes and differences from 
Borland's 6 and 7 stuff as well as still trying to wrap my head around GUI 
stuffings...

the basics of my update script are

1. check for and use (or not) miscellaneousoptions.xml if indicated on the 
script's command line. use existing if not specified.
2. make distclean (changed from plain 'clean')
3. TortoiseProc /command:update /path:"%myLAZpath%" (where myLAZpath is 
X:\freepascal\lazarus\trunk)
4. make OPT="-gl -gh -dHEAPTRC_WINDOW" lazbuild lcl basecomponents starter 
bigidecomponents lhelp
5. lazbuild.exe --build-ide="-gl -gh -dHEAPTRC_WINDOW" --build-mode="debug ide"

for both 4 and 5 i had added -dTimeAllCompilerOptions after -dHEAPTRC_WINDOW... 
as you can see above, it is removed now...

[aside] i just need to figure out where an extra set of "-gl -gh 
-dHEAPTRC_WINDOW" is coming from... i think the config containing the build mode 
but i haven't had much time or real drive to search it out lately since it 
appears to work as desired... [/aside]
