[DUG] Stopped Using D2005

[Maurice Butler]

Hi,
historically the even version numbers of delphi were buggy especially D4.
unfortunately d8 was a not a new release of delhi compiler so 2005 is
actually a the equivalent of an even version number even though it is called
2005 alias d9.
Caught as well
Maurice
