ide/CustomDefines.pas

They have different purpose and usage.
Unit condef implements the Source -> Enclose in $IFDEF feature.
Unit CustomDefines helps the user to manage a list of defines to be passed to compiler.
You can open it in Project Options -> Compiler Options -> Other -> Defines ... It is a front-end to Custom options memo, but it keeps a list of unselected defines, too.
Maybe the unit CustomDefines should be renamed to something else, there are properties named CustomDefines.

Maybe both units should be renamed.
The first inserts common IFDEFs.
The second is a dialog for editing -d compiler parameters. (BTW, it misses an abstract in the the header).
