The easier we make it, the better. Lazarus is a RAD environment, after
all.

OK, I see your point. Yes, I think it is possible and even not that much
work to do.
I programmed "multiple instances" handling into Lazarus IDE. It's the
same like e.g. Adobe Photoshop or VLC player work - if you start the IDE
without files in cmd parameters, the IDE is started. If you start IDE
with files, the files are opened in already running instance. You can
enable a truly "single instance" (always only single instance allowed)
with an environment setting option.
IMO, we should keep the code in CustApp simple and don't do this
advanced stuff. Only single/multiple instances option. If single
instance is selected, allow to talk with the one single instance through
IPC. If there are multiple instances, you cannot talk to other instances.
This should be doable.
What do you think?
