Description:
Wanting to test the 0.9.30 branch, I wanted to make a copy of my current
~/.config/lazarus/ directory. That's when I noticed lots and lots of
directories similar to what is shown below. All these directories are empty.
$ ls -l ~/.config/

* Why are they there?
* Why are they empty?
* Why the ugly directory names? (using project filenames as directory names)
I'm using Lazarus under 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04.
