Custom configuration load/save

It could be useful to have a sort of save/load feature in order to
store/restore compiler and environment options in a single click. At
this time, switching eg. from win32 to wince is a mess (a lot of
compiler ad path settings to change). I'm thinking about something
like a directory based system:
Code: [Select]
/Lazarus
    /Configuration
        /default
            Editor.xml
            Compiler.xml
            ...xml
        /MyWinCEConfiguration
            Editor.xml
            Compiler.xml
            ...xml
        /AnotherConfiguration
            Editor.xml
            Compiler.xml
            ...xml


then a listbox filled at runtime with [default, MyWinCEConfiguration,
AnotherConfiguration], used to switch from a configuration to another

Does it be feasible?

Of course this is feasible, but who wants to implement this.

I wonder why you want to change editor and environment options. If you
tweak your fpc.cfg a bit and use fpc.exe as compiler, all you need to
do is change the compiler options. You already can load and save
compiler options, so you can create a file with copiler options for
different configuration.
