Some notes after my work on doublecmd yesterday. Lots of progress. I
believe there has been some confusion because of at least two things:

1) the lazarus package that we prepared in git solves the problems for
doublecmd (I believe), but in the discussion we forgot that it is NOT
yet uploaded. @Abou, did you want to make more changes to Lazarus, or
are we nearly there (yes, I know you want to wait for fpc 2.6.4, but I
don't think that is needed)

2) terminology. Abou, I don't know what you mean exactly with "LCL
components", but if I see the upstream build, I do see all kind of units
in the (what I think you mean by) LCL components that have a widget
specific directory. You also use these directory names to distribute the
files over the lcl-gtk2 and lcl-qt4 packages. I think Alexander is
meaning those.

@Abou: I still see qt4 and gtk2 units in the lcl-units package.
Shouldn't ALL qt4 and gtk2 specific units be moved to lcl-(qt4|gtk2)

@Graham: I think the fix for doublecmd is pending the lazarus upload.
Also, I think we can remove the widget building from the doublecmd
building at the same time. It all just seems to work here... Retrying
now in a fully clean build.
