Description
I am using a project which has units/forms that may or may not be included in the project based on compiler directives.

In the project source I have placed directives encompasing the units I want to include into the project.

When adding an additional unit into the project, the compiler directives are removed.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a project and add several existing units to the project.
2. Place a compiler directive around one or more units.
3. Save the project.
4. Add an existing unit.

The compiler directives will be removed from the project source.

Example:

MainUnit in 'mainunit.pas',
{$ifndef YYYY}
  unit1 'unit1.pas',
  unit2 'unit2.pas',
{$endif}

You could include these units from an other unit. (assuming they are located in a directory listed in the project "Browse folders" list).
The project manager doesn't handle conditional defines and your changes will be discarded on the next change.
Assuming these conditions could be configured in the project manager, the conditional defines may be so complicated (IFDEF IF IFNDEF IFOPT ELSE...) that the GUI would be awful.
