You can do the following:
Add a flag to configure build lazarus dialog. For example
-dEnableCompInfoWnd

Then replace each

{$IFNDEF EnableOldExtTools}Something{$ELSE}InfoBuild,{$ENDIF}

with

{$IFNDEF EnableOldExtTools}Something{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF EnableCompInfoWnd}InfoBuild,{$ENDIF}

This way your changes activates only when the IDE is compiled with the
flag. You can then send us patches even if they are not yet fully
functional. When it is complete, the IFDEFs can be removed.
This allows others to help with specific questions or to tell early when you are on the wrong track.
