help the community.

Many of us are in the same position, after all a community is basically a group of people doing their best to help each other.

I've raised several code-generation and debugger bugs over the last few months, which have been fixed promptly by the developers best-suited. /But/ since they're doing it in their own time, it's entirely reasonable that the fixes end up in the trunk version since this is what they've got on their system: if I wanted them merged back into stable or into the next version it's up to me to do it.

If a fix going into trunk rather than into stable forces me to update my own sources or to use a bleeding-edge version of Lazarus then that's my problem.
