The system I have uses drag-and-drop to build make files.  Works quite
well.  Select a pile of source files, drag them to the the application
window, and click on "Make".  The application generates a normal-ish
looking make file so hand modifications can be achieved if necessary
(which is unusual).  Unfortunately it's for an ANSI C and Pascal
development system, not Ada :(
