You mean as in a namespace to path translation?

so I write in my cfg
C:\laz_svn\ = C:\lazarus
?

Then why have the namespace identifiers in the source look like a path 
on disk at all? Why not all make them symbolic?

It doesn't have to be a single word like in my other mail thread (so I 
still prefer that) => it could be fpc.core.rtl

Mind if used in "uses foo *in* 'namespace' " => iot's a string, so dot, 
slash you name it, whatever you like

Wrong, As I said I have 4 diff installations, and I move stuff between them

See my other thread => I never need to make a change, once I set it up 
=> butif the path is in the pascal source, I keep having to change stuff
