But if you're considering making it public wouldn't it be better to use 
the "official" 2.4.2 release, at least until somebody really had to have 
a recent fix or extension? I had to go briefly onto 2.5.1 for ARM and 
found that it refused to compile Lazarus- if I recall correctly there 
was a conditional in the source where anything that wasn't 2.4 was 
assumed to be 2.2 or older.
