Thanks.
Maybe this can be used for debug/release.
I don't see how this can be used for the widgetsets.

My dream is this:
User opens a project and/or package and the IDE uses fppkg to download  
and install automatically the missing packages.
Some packages like the LCL are already installed via lazarus. So  
somehow fppkg needs to know, that some packages don't need be  
downloaded from the repositories. Maybe lazarus can register a local  
repository?
