[Lazarus] Lazarus update

[Curt Carpenter]

Congratulations to the team on the new release.

I confess that I share Chavoux Luyt's fears about updating, especially 
since I use FPC/Lazarus on three different platforms (and don't really 
know what I'm doing on two of them :-)

(OK -- all of them.)

Is there a wiki on Updating For Idiots?

Thanks again for all the hard work!
