Yes, the converter is smart. It finds files automatically from the
project's sibling directories (= its parent's children). Libraries are
often places there, like this Jedi now.
Files are scanned in a background thread while the settings dialog is shown.

It is already implemented when compiling Lazarus with HEAPTRC_WINDOW
define + using FPC trunk. See issue :
  http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19837

Forget the heaptracer now when converting a nasty project.
When exception comes, things go heyway and it is difficult to clean everything.
