Thanks Michael, it was your comment about ResourceStrings that reminded 
me to ask this.

What about .lrs, since it looks as though it's generated from .lfm?

It's actually .lrs that I find I'm storing inconsistently :-)

svn ls http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/ide | cut -d . -f 2 
|sort |uniq    returns

dci
fpc
ico
inc
lfm
lpi
lpr
pas
pp
rc
res
xml

i.e. specifically includes .rc and .res but not .lrs.
