Largely you don't have to make any changes any longer - as D2007 uses 
the MSBuild system, building internally and externally are identical. If 
you are doing it on another machine, you'll just have to make sure that 
all your paths are consistent across machines and developers. I do this 
using SUBST - making sure all Delphi development is done on my W drive 
so as I swap machines, everything necessary is always installed there, 
no matter where it is on the local machine. The only problem I encounter 
is using InterBase databases (which require a "real" drive).
