[DUG] Delphi - why the need for dcus

[Todd Martin]

It should not need the dcu's , if your project uses the BPL as a runtime 
library. They are only needed, when you want to compile the library directly 
into your project exe.

I can only suppose your BPLs use a common pas file, which has had some changes 
since one or more of your BPLs were compiled.
