Would lazres be automatically invoked by lazarus or lazbuild is the .lsr 
was missing?

The trouble with making a change to the .lfm is that some very old 
versions of Lazarus (approx 0.9.24) can add properties that give newer 
ones problems, and you obviously have to be careful about getting that 
sort of thing into a repository. I can't give an example off the top of 
my head, but I'm not just talking about TNotebook which was obviously a 
significant glitch.
