Thats' a good solution: it won't break backwards compatibility and it 
gives the option to fix the behaviour of current programs that are using 
CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA.

I'd say that by default it should then use GetAppConfigDir(true) for the 
settings and GetAppConfigDir(false) for rebuilding the lazarus executable.
