I've read in a post, doing research on upgrading components to IDEs beyond
D7, that if FindCategory isn't successful with the IDString it gets passed
that it will create that category. Is this true?
In my D2007Pro IDE the trend in Category IDStrings produced by CodeGear is
"WizardCategory.MyWizards.Delphi.Personality". Is there a property that I'm
missing that will have the API build this string based on the older method of
Category creation? I'm not sure but I think in D7 and previous all you did
was create a Category called MyWizardCategory, with the implementation of
IOTARepositoryWizard80 is there some method to have the API create a D2006
and later Category similar to those used by CodeGear? Do I need to IFDEF the
IDString I use in Category creation?

I hope that makes some sort of sense. I have been doing quite a bit of
research, specifically at http://www.gexperts.org/opentools/ [thanks Eric]
and http://www.mustangpeak.net/ [thanks Jim] but haven't read /everything/
and may have missed a thing or two.
