Proper library deployment in Delphi

In these days I'm starting to move some projects from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2006. Therefore I started to install all the required libraries in Delphi 2006. And I found out that many libraries don't use packages properly. Beyond the runtime/designtime issue, many libraries don't set the options properly to share the same code among different versions of Delphi. Once I was used to keep different copies of each library in each Delphi folders, in a folder named "3rd".

Integrating Mantis and CVS/CVSNT

Currently CVS comes in two versions: the original CVS (available at http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/), and CVSNT (www.cvsnt.org), originally a native port to Windows systems, but then become a whole project on its own available on many platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix, MacOSX) and with several new features. Both versions share a common architecture, and from now on "CVS" will refer to both versions, but where stated explicitly.
