Maybe you know this, but (to my knowledge) Ada compilers tend not to have
special conditional compilation facilities. The assumption is that an
optimising compiler will remove 'dead code', so that the use of 'if'
statements will achieve the same effect.
Of course, the 'if' statement is not available among declarations, so it's
not quite the same thing; this point sometimes gets discussed on
comp.lang.ada (cue for topic?).
