I ought to point out here that the change I've heard about is
one of *integrating* the Cygnus stuff with gnat.  I've been
using the Cygnus gnu shell (bash), sed, grep, etc., with gnat
for going on to a year now with few to no problems.  You can
do the same, but like me you'll need to use a different shell
(actually a different set of environment variables, but the
easiest way is to have two different parameterized shell
shortcuts) when you want to compile Ada and C++.  I imagine
we'll only need one shell in the future and perhaps only one
copy of the "gcc programs".
