Not actively. Mattias has added references to current project to some
places so the code can use them instead of Project1 directly.
This is very preliminary though.
Soon a branch for Lazarus 1.2 will be forked. After that trunk would
be open for such new big feature.

Unfortunately it is quite a complex task. The biggest challenge is to
refactor the code so that Project1 is not referred to directly.
A project holds lots of data including session info.
A quick search for "Project1" in Lazarus sources gives 846 matches.
