Yes.  Chris has correctly stated my position that I have not had time 
yet to look at a utilities project file for BCB6.  It sounds like 
Christopher has had a good start.  I would suggest a BUILD ALL once you 
get a project group setup correctly.  It might just be that the 
libraries were built one way while compiling BibleCS, and now they are 
configured differently for your new project group.  A BUILD ALL Projects 
will force a recompile with your new settings.

At the risk of breaking an NDA, I will only say that Chris is wrong. ;)
