Building for another widgetset (for example qt or gtk2 on linux) is less

arm wince is certainly advanced (three changes: OS, CPU, widgetset), just
another widgets might be considered advanced, but the current simple view is
too simple if you cannot change the widgetset.

Not at all, the only compication they have, is that the see a simple tab, while
looking at the configure build lazarus dialog, because they only make changes
in the advanced tab.

Advanced users can ignore the simple tab.

Advanced configure build lazarus?
