FWIW

A pertinent question might be - will the gnat Project support with gpr
files not serve the function. Perhaps ada based distributions should
use that instead of the traditional config etc.

In any case, I found that on Windows for gnat based development, I am
not sure cygwin works that well. for example, the -I and other such
specifications want to interpret the argument using the native
directory separator ie "\" and not the unix like "/"

So if one is used to the command line - we have to get friendly with
cmd!!!
