Yes. Although I suggest doing it only semi automatically.
There should be a QuestionDlg explaining, when this is a bad idea. see

For ported Delphi applications this can mean trouble.
It is common under Delphi to put some often used units into a directory and
add this directory to the unit path of all projects and packages.
Sharing a source directory by multiple projects and packages is a bad thing,
but many programmers don't know.
So, yes, it will give new trouble, but I think the advantages will be bigger
than the trouble.
