I don't think this can be right. See the GNAT Project Manager page on
*file* naming:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.0/gnat_ugn_unw/Naming-Schemes.html#Naming-Schemes

Personally, though, I'd go with the default: lower-case filenames,
mixed-case Ada names (and, John, I think you'd have a better chance of
getting GNATbench to use mixed case in some predictable way if you
Used_Underscores ratherThanRunningThingsTogether)
