GNAT defaults to insisting on ".ads" and ".adb", but it is possible to
configure GNAT to use any filename convention including the ".1.ada"
and ".2.ada" convention required by Apex.  This is all described in
the "Alternative File Naming Schemes" and "Handling Arbitrary File
Naming Conventions Using gnatname" sections of the GNAT Users Manual.

I have used GNAT with the Apex file name convention in the past and it
works fine.
