The difference becomes obvious with multiple Lazarus installations. Where
multiple Delphi versions share packages (causing trouble), every Lazarus
installation must be configured explicitly.

I believe this has been discussed recently, but can't find it right now.
I'm willing to write patch, which of these features would be desirable/accepted?
I can't find my preferred solution anywhere :-(
I'd store all configuration data together with the Lazarus binary, i.e.
in the Lazarus folder(s), what reduces the need for --pcp to almost
zero. Another (common) config only can contain user preferences, nothing
about Lazarus installations. Then *commonly usable* packages also can go
into that common config, while their binaries still are installation
specific - this could become a new Lazarus option.
But I know that I'm quite lost with this model, at least from the core
team VP...
