I played with the project files yesterday, and they do what I want,
however I would then have to maintain them, and they

After playing around with it, it appears that this is the *best*
solution.  The downside however, is that gnatbind creates the b~*
"temporary" files in the current directory.  gnatlink is kind enough
to remove them, however it still sort of stinks. I'd need to go back
and check, but I seem to recall that if I "slowed" gnatmake -P
<project file> down to build one step at a time, it was able to place
the b~* files in the "Object" directory.

Thanks for the help everyone.
